Value of three-dimensional reconstructions in pancreatic carcinoma using multidetector CT: Initial results

Figure 1 Lateral view of the three-dimensional model of a pancreatic carcinoma (pale green) in the processus uncinatus. There is contact between the tumor and the superior mesenteric vein but no invasion.

Figure 2 Patient with stage T3 pancreatic carcinoma with portal vein invasion; the preoperative assessment was correct. A: Axial slice through tumor; B: Three-dimensional reconstruction, frontal view (tumor = pale green); C: Three-dimensional reconstruction, cranial view (tumor = pale green).
