Reconstructions jointives

French to English Medical Medical (general) Abdominal CT scan
Hi,

This is a multislice CT scan with no injection of contrast.
The exact sentence is: "reconstructions jointives de 3 mm d'épaisseur, axiales, coronales et sagittales"

Thanks

Joanna

Hi,
The Spanish seem to translate "coupes jointives" as "cortes continuos" which in English is "continuous cuts." I found "continuous reconstruction" with quite a lot of hits. Would that work? Thanks

contiguous reconstructions

Another consideration is the detection of small
lesions, as overlapping reconstructions have been
shown to improve the detection of hepatic metastases.
In most cases, if nonaxial reconstructions
are not anticipated, contiguous reconstructions
usually are adequate.

An anthropomorphic phantom was used with a vasculature insert on which synthetic lung nodules were attached. Repeated scans of the phantom were acquired using a 64-slice CT scanner. Overlapping and contiguous reconstructions were performed for a range of CT imaging parameters (exposure, slice thickness, pitch, reconstruction kernel) and a range of nodule characteristics (size, density). Nodule volume was estimated with a previously developed matched-filter algorithm.

Note: These numbers assume minimum reconstructed slice thickness and contiguous reconstructions. MDCT = multidetector computed tomography.

Yes, I think "continuous reconstruction" would be OK - I mean, if they cut them and join them together, the scans are going to be continuous/contiguous, OR overlapping:

Scanning techniques and image reconstructions in ECG-gated cardiac CT have a unique impact on image quality and radiation dose. Half-scan (or short-scan) reconstruction is typically used to obtain better temporal resolution. For the widely employed retrospective ECG-gated helical scan mode, the helical pitch is very ...
