“…Useful clinical applications of the VR technique for visualizing complex anatomy and pathology have been described in many radiological fields and include otorhinolaryngiology [9], neurosurgery and cranio-facial surgery [10], female imaging [1], vascular anomalies and variants [11, 12], and coronary artery anatomy and anomalies [13–15]. …”

Volume rendering (VR) represents today’s standard three-dimensional (3-D) image post-processing technique, and often is used to visualize complex anatomical information. Recently, a novel 3-D technique for post-processing of computed tomography (CT) image data has been introduced, which is called cinematic rendering (CR). The objective of this review is to illustrate the image appearance and potential value of CR in comparison with conventional VR in a number of various applications and different anatomical regions. Similar to VR, CR best visualizes high density and high contrast structures such as bones and contrast-enhanced vessels, but at the same time provides a more natural and photo-realistic illumination of the rendered data. Further research will be necessary for determining possible advantages of CR over conventional VR and over two-dimensional (2-D) image post-processing for CT image data.Teaching Points • Cinematic rendering is a novel post-processing technique for 3D visualization of CT image data. • Compared to volume rendering, CR results in a more photo-realistic representation of anatomy. • Similar to volume rendering, CR provides best image quality of high density structures.

“…Since there are plenty of supplying arteries around this region, lateral ventricle hemorrhage tend to cause obstructive hydrocephalus, which will lead to an increase of intracranial pressure, ultimately forming cerebral hernia. [ 6 ] Besides, the hemorrhage breaking into the lateral ventricle will alter the pressure in thalamus and brain stem, which would finally lead to endocrine dysfunction, abnormal circulation as well as respiratory systems malfunction and some other complications. Lateral ventricle puncture approach is a very effective way to treat lateral ventricle hemorrhage or obstructive hydrocephalus, which is well-accepted worldwide.…”

This study aims to find accurate angles and depths of lateral ventricle puncture using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reconstruction, as well as to provide an optimized and alternative puncturing strategy.A total of 90 computed tomography (CT) images and 30 CT images with DTI were analyzed. The measurements were performed on coronal, sagittal, and horizontal planes. Some distances and angles were measured to determine the best angle and penetration depth during the puncture process. Important landmarks of the lateral ventricle were also measured, and a comparison of the differences between 2 hemispheres was also assessed.It showed that the vertical distance from the superior margin to inferior margin of the lateral ventricle was 22.2 ± 0.5 mm and the length was 124.1 ± 2.1 mm. In the frontal horn puncture approach, the penetration depth should be limited between 105.2 and 109.4 mm, the angle should be 71.6 ± 2.7°. During the occipital horn puncture approach, puncturing depth was from 90.7 to 111.4 mm, and angle was 15.3 ± 1.8°. Through the parietal lobe puncture approach, which was firstly brought out in this study, the puncturing length should be 124.4 to 130.2 mm and angle was 56.6 ± 2.0°.The traditional recommended protocol of lateral ventricle puncture is not accurate, the refined lateral ventricle puncture protocol established in this study will reduce injury and remain function. A DTI imaging examination combining with nerve fibers reconstruction were strongly recommended before lateral ventricle puncture, which will help neurosurgeons to determine the best puncturing angles and depth.
