title: [clinical application of multiplanar and 3D reconstruction of spiral CT in diagnosis of acetabulum fractures].
abstract: This review describes recent visualizations of computed tomography for the diagnosis of acetabular fractures. The techniques of conventional and helical-CT for the imaging of the acetabulum are compared. Furthermore, the different methods of multiplaner and three-dimensional reconstructions e.g. shaded surface display, maximum intensity projection, and volume rendering are presented. Figures of each method are demonstrated and the diagnostic potential of multiplanar and three-dimensional imaging for fractures of the pelvis is discussed.
