  abstract =   "Visualization of tubular structures such as blood vessels is
               an important topic in medical imaging. One way to display
               tubular structures for diagnostic purposes is to generate
               longitudinal cross-sections in order to show their lumen,
               wall, and surrounding tissue in a curved plane. This process
               is called Curved Planar Reformation (CPR). We present three
               different methods to generate CPR images. A tube-phantom was
               scanned with Computed Tomography (CT) to illustrate the
               properties of the different CPR methods. Furthermore we
               introduce enhancements to these methods: thick-CPR,
               rotating-CPR   		 and multi-path-CPR.",
