Abstract
Attempts have been made to overcome the limited visibility of anatomic structures on axial CT by direct multiplanar sections or multiplanar reformatted views. So as not to be restricted by “planar cuts,” we have used curved coronal reformatting to investigate some of the cranial structures, whose tortuous anatomy cannot be visualized entirely with standard CT. In fact, we have provided a “flattened” presentation of the optic nerve and chiasma, facial nerve canal, and jugular foramen, showing them in their entire extension. Despite the geometrical deformation produced by this technique, its potential to deplct the anatomy of some is noteworthy.
