3D Volume Imaging – Spine

Systematically assess and document normal and abnormal anatomy

Technique
Optimize 2D image of the Spine*
Max angle can help to view entire spine
Select 3D button
Choose appropriate preset, consider
Skeletal setting
Select Render or Multiplanar
Adjust size and position of ROI (Region
of Interest) Box with center trackball key
Include all desired anatomy in
sagittal view

*Tips can be found on 2D Optimization Quick Card

Adjust Volume Angle to include the anatomy of interest

Select desired Quality (Max=Best resolution, longest acquisition time)
Touch Start on trackball key or Freeze button

Acquisition Plane – ROI Volume Angle 45° – 65° Acquisition Plane – ROI Volume Angle 45º – 65º

3D Volume Imaging – Spine

Technique (continued)
After the volume is acquired, select the appropriate Print
Key (3D) to save the volume
Utilize Volpre, to adjust parameters and acquire another
volume if needed

Tips
Manipulate the volume by adjusting X, Y, Z and
Parallel shift knobs
3D Multiplanar displays three orthogonal planes
of a volume data set
Axis dot represents the intersection of all three
planes and is movable in Multiplanar to focus on
a specific area
Volume Contrast Imaging (VCI) may be added
after an acquisition for added contrast resolution 3D Volume of the Spine with TUI
and image detail, suggest Skeletal preset
Render displays three orthogonal planes and the rendered image, consider using curved render line
3D produces higher resolution volumes than 4D
ROI Box determines height and width of the A-plane or plane of acquisition
Volume Angle determines the width of the B-plane and the height of the C-plane
Display mode (Render, Multiplanar, OmniView or TUI) may be changed after volume has been obtained and saved
OmniView is a very helpful tool when imaging the spine*
TUI can be utilized on A, B or C Box to image multiple planes within the volume
*Tips can be found on OmniView Quick Card
