Abstract
Recent improvements in CT software allow rapid and high-quality two-di mensional reformatting of scans of the spine [1]. Reformatting involve s computer interpolation of two-dimensional multislice images acquired during routine axial CT scanning in order to generate a three-dimensi onal volume of data. From this block of data, new images are created a nd displayed in any desired plane. Reformatted images are acquired wit hin minutes following axial CT scanning.
