Multiplanar reformations and minimum intensity projections using multi-detector row CT for assessing anomalies and disorders of the pancreaticobiliary tree

Figure 1 Examples of imaging techniques. A: The MPR (coronal oblique) image shows the extrahepatic bile duct as a hypoattenuated structure (arrows); B: The curved MPR image shows the dilated and tortuous pancreatic duct with a stricture at the distal end (long arrow) in one plane; C: On the MinIP (coronal oblique 6 mm thickness slab) image, the extrahepatic bile duct (arrows) and distal pancreatic duct (arrowheads) are well delineated as hypoattenuated tubular structures.
