Hints

•Use raw data to review a target region if necessary.

•For image reconstruction of soft tissue, use kernel B31s and a slice width of 5.0 mm.

•Coronal and sagittal 2D planar reconstructions are important for evaluation of the joint space & bursa sacs in CT arthograms.

•3D renderings are helpful for complex fractures & dislocations.
