“…Although two-dimensional multiplanar reformats are standard problem-solving tools, 3D rendering techniques such as maximal intensity projection and volume rendering are useful adjuncts to gastrointestinal imaging to improve the diagnostic capabilities of CT and are simple to compute. 9,11 Prior applications of 3D volume rendering have demonstrated utility in the assessment of gastrointestinal tumour vasculature and the identification of adjacent organs in close contact, which are both of major importance before surgery. 11,12 Cinematic rendering (CR) is a relatively recent technique for visualization of volumetric data that provides photorealistic 3D views from CT data owing to the use of more physical photon effects by comparison with traditional 3D representations.…”

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are defined as CD117-positive primary, spindled or epithelioid, mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, omentum, or mesentery. While computed tomography (CT) is the recommended imaging modality for GISTs, overlap in imaging features between GISTs and other gastrointestinal tumors often make radiological diagnosis and subsequent selection of the optimal therapeutic approach challenging. Cinematic rendering is a novel CT post-processing technique that generates highly photorealistic anatomic images based on a unique lighting model. The global lighting model produces high degrees of surface detail and shadowing effects that generate depth in the final three-dimensional display. Early studies have shown that cinematic rendering produces high-quality images with enhanced detail by comparison with other three-dimensional visualization techniques. Cinematic rendering shows promise in improving the visualization of enhancement patterns and internal architecture of abdominal lesions, local tumor extension, and global disease burden, which may be helpful for lesion characterization and pretreatment planning. This article discusses and illustrates the application of cinematic rendering in the evaluation of GISTs and the unique benefit of using cinematic rendering in the workup of GIST with a specific emphasis on tumor characterization and preoperative planning.

“…Over the last two decades various 3‐D post‐processing techniques such as surface‐shaded display and volume rendering have been introduced 3 . Volume rendering technique (VR) became a valuable tool in the visualisation of complex anatomical structures and pathology as well as their spatial relationships 4 . However, VR technology has not evolved significantly since its introduction and are limited in particular by suboptimal depth perception restraining its use for pre‐operative planning in complex congenital heart defects.…”

IntroductionPlanning for surgical intervention for patients with complex congenital heart disease requires a comprehensive understanding of the individual's anatomy. Cinematic rendering (CR) is a novel technique that purportedly builds on traditional volume rendering (VR) by converting CT image data into clearly defined 3D reconstructions through the stimulation and propagation of light rays. The purpose of this study was to compare CR to VR for the understanding of critical anatomy in unoperated complex congenital heart disease.MethodsIn this retrospective study, CT data sets from 20 sequential scanned cases of unoperated paediatric patients with complex congenital heart disease were included. 3D images were produced at standardised and selected orientations, matched for both VR and CR. The images were then independently reviewed by two cardiologists, two radiologists and two surgeons for overall image quality, depth perception and the visualisation of surgically relevant anatomy, the coronary arteries and the pulmonary veins.ResultsCinematic rendering demonstrated significantly superior image quality, depth perception and visualisation of surgically relevant anatomy than VR.ConclusionCinematic rendering is a novel 3D CT—rendering technique that may surpass the traditionally used volumetric rendering technique in the provision of actionable pre‐operative anatomical detail for complex congenital heart disease.

“…Advances in multidetector CT (MDCT) hardware and 3D rendering post-processing tools have made MDCT a pivotal diagnostic tool for cardiac and cardiovascular imaging. 1 Both maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) are used for 3D rendering of cardiovascular MDCT datasets, 2 and provide a global overview of volumetric data as well as detailed anatomic and pathologic information that can be difficult to appreciate on 2D images. Recently, a new rendering method has become available that is similar to VR, but incorporates a more complex lighting model to create photorealistic images.…”
