A new software program provides the real-time display of high-resolution computed tomographic reformation in the axial, coronal, sagittal, or oblique views. The advantages of this new technique over the standard multiplanar format include (a) larger image display format, (b) reconstruction of entire dataset for each of up to 192 sections, (c) real-time viewing, (d) interactive real-time oblique imaging, and (e) on-screen correlation of multiplanar and three-dimensional images.
