[Computer tomographic longitudinal sections of the trunk reconstructed from standard cross-sections (author's transl)]. 1979

L Strauss, and G van Kaick

Reduction in scan times and advances in the field of image reconstruction have made it possible to reconstruct the trunk from sequential coronal sections. For this purpose 8 mm cuts without overlap are suitable. There is consequently no increase in patient dose or in the scan time. Longitudinal sections can be reconstructed by a dedicated computer in about 10 minutes and cross sections can be evaluated in more detail. The longitudinal reconstructions provide better demonstration of organs and space-occupying lesions in their craniocaudal extent. This extension of the diagnostic spectrum is of value to the diagnostician and particularly to radiotherapists and surgeons during treatment planning.

D008080 Liposarcoma A malignant tumor derived from primitive or embryonal lipoblastic cells. It may be composed of well-differentiated fat cells or may be dedifferentiated: myxoid (LIPOSARCOMA, MYXOID), round-celled, or pleomorphic, usually in association with a rich network of capillaries. Recurrences are common and dedifferentiated liposarcomas metastasize to the lungs or serosal surfaces.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.
