Sagittal and coronal image reconstruction: application in pancreatic computed tomography.

The application of coronal and sagittal image reconstruction in the display of the normal pancreas and peripancreatic region is illustrated. The use of standard reproducible reference points for multiplanar reconstruction is suggested. Reconstruction computed tomography displays more anatomic structures in the coronal and sagittal planes than ultrasonography and accurately displays the craniocaudad extent of pancreatic pathology.
