Abstract

We have implemented a computerized system for relatively rapid (< 1 h) three-dimensional (3D) surface rendering of flow-sensitive (gradient refocused) magnetic resonance images. The method has been applied in 8 patients with six different clinical problems and was found to enhance understanding of normal and abnormal aortic, caval, and portosystemic venous anatomy. 3D images are useful for communicating complex anatomic information and may help with difficult diagnoses. Advantages and limitations of the present system are discussed.
