Volume rendering of tendon-bone relationships using unenhanced CT.
AJR Am J Roentgenol. 2001; (4): 973-7
Clinically, three-dimensional CT of the extremities is most often used to display bony anatomy. However, by combining unenhanced CT with volume-rendering computer graphics, visualization of relationships between bone and soft-tissue structures such as muscle tendon is also possible. The aims of this study were to quantify CT attenuation values of peripheral tendon, muscle, and bone on unenhanced CT and to develop custom opacity transforms on the basis of the attenuation measurements to effectively depict tendon-muscle-bone relationships.
