Article Abstract
Objective: The two most widely used postprocessing 3D tools in clinical practice are volume rendering (VR) and maximum intensity projection (MIP). With the use of current-generation MDCT, these techniques enable accurate characterization of arterial anatomy and pathology in all anatomic regions. Recently, the VR algorithm has been enhanced by the incorporation of a new lighting model. This new technique-called cinematic rendering-generates photorealistic images with the potential to more accurately depict anatomic detail.
Conclusion: As an enhancement of the technology championed in VR, cinematic rendering promises to provide additional anatomic detail for MDCT interpretation and display. Future investigations must be conducted to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cinematic rendering and determine whether interpretative pitfalls result from its unique lighting model in practice.

Deep Inferior Epigastric Artery perforator flaps (DIEP flaps) have become the gold standard in autologous breast reconstruction; yet they remain complex procedures due to highly individual perforator anatomy. Increasingly, computed tomography (CT) angiography is used for preoperative planning but is conventionally viewed on 2D screens in black and white. With the rise of Virtual and Mixed Reality, early case studies have demonstrated the utility of 3D-Mixed Reality headsets for DIEP flap planning by immersively exploring projections of perforator anatomy.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) leiomyosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy arising from smooth muscle cells of the IVC wall, accounting for less than 1 in 100,000 adult malignancies. It carries a poor prognosis, with high recurrence rates and 5-year disease-free survival reported as low as 6%. Clinical presentation is often vague, including abdominal or back pain, lower extremity edema, and weight loss, making imaging pivotal for diagnosis.
