  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.
