Figure 6. Multiplanar reformatting of the same 3D dataset inFigure 4a: Three orthogonal images are obtained by cross-sectioning the bladder, showing the motion artefact (arrowheads) in the interlaced data, which appears more severe in the upper side of the bladder. (b) Another three orthogonal images are obtained by cross-sectioning the cuff, showing the well-sealed cuff, although not so apparent as in 3D images. Note the depiction of the tubing (arrows) connecting the cuff and the balloons. Its entire course may not be visualized by 3D surface display due to its heterogeneous signal intensity, but can be traced by interactively reformatting sequential 2D images.
