Vessel probe CT protocol in the study of esophageal carcinoma: Can it improve preoperative T staging?

Prognostic value of Tissue Transition Projection 3D transparent wall CT reconstructions in bowel ischemia

“…In case of intestinal ischemia, MPR and 3D reconstructions allow to easily detect CT findings. In fact, such reconstructions as curved MPR, MIP, Vessel Probe (VP), SS-VRT, Tissue Transition Projections (TTP) are particularly useful for the assessment of the vascular and bowel signs of intestinal ischemia [20,21]. illustration of CT volumetric data from any desired perspective and provides 3D images which are significantly superior to other volume rendering techniques [13e15].…”

Role of Multidetector Computed Tomography in Evaluating Incidentally Detected Breast Lesions

“…It can display images in a variety of formats, including automatic and simultaneous orthogonal cross-sections, orthogonal MPR, oblique and curved MPR, 3D and curved reformat views. This fast and simple-to-use software has already been applied for examining the gastric and esophageal walls on contrast-enhanced MDCT (10, 11). Starting from simple transverse images, VP in MPR mode automatically generates a reference line along the major axis of structures with the maximum enhancement values and displays the best views in multiple curved planes.…”

Comparison between CT Net enhancement and PET/CT SUV for N staging of gastric cancer: A case series

“…CT images were evaluated by applying the Vessel Probe (VP) in MPR reconstructions and the automatic 3D analysis software which respectively provided peri-gastric lymph nodes qualitative and quantitative data [3], [16].…”

“…By clicking on the lymph node site in simple transverse images, VP in MPR mode automatically generates a reference line along the major axis of lymph node and displays the best views in multiple curved planes [3], [16].…”
