We describe an original reconstruction method for spine CT performed in four patients with single or multiple congenital spine abnormalities. Conventional radiographic imaging is at the forefront of diagnosis and follow-up of congenital scoliosis, but is frequently difficult to interpret. Three-dimensional CT reconstruction facilitates visualization of complex anatomic structures, but does not give a reliable assessment of failures of segmentation. Mental three-dimensional reconstruction of the information displayed by classical multiplanar reformatted CT remains difficult. Planispheric reformatted imaging allows the visualization of all deformities in a single plane.
