Application of MPVR and TL-VR with 64-row MDCT in neonates with congenital EA and distal TEF

Figure 1 The reconstruction techniques of multidetector-row computed tomography show a case of esophageal atresia and tracheoesophageal fistula with a long inter-pouch gap. A: Coronal view of multiple planar volume reconstruction showing a long gap between the proximal pouch (thin arrow) and distal pouch (thick arrow) as well as the tracheobronchial tree with an aspirating catheter in the proximal esophageal pouch; B: Oblique sagittal view of multiple planar volume reconstruction showing a long inter-pouch distance with a tenuous fistula; C: Posteroanterior projection of transparency lung volume rendering demonstrating the distance between esophageal segments and three-dimensional anatomy of esophageal pouches and tracheobronchial tree after removal of lungs in case 3 (a 3-d old male neonate).
