Abstract
This review describes recent visualizations of computed tomography for the
diagnosis of acetabular fractures. The techniques of conventional and helical-CT
for the imaging of the acetabulum are compared. Furthermore, the different
methods of multiplaner and three-dimensional reconstructions e.g. shaded
surface display, maximum intensity projection, and volume rendering are
presented. Figures of each method are demonstrated and the diagnostic potential
of multiplanar and three-dimensional imaging for fractures of the pelvis is
discussed.
