Detailed anatomical information is essential for planning of surgical therapy in patients with congenital heart disease. We wanted to determine whether cinematic rendering, the novel 3-dimensional visualization technique, could help paediatric cardiac surgeons achieve better preoperative visualization of the extracardiac anatomy in patients with complex congenital heart defects. Therefore, cinematic rendering was compared to the traditional volume rendering technique by means of a questionnaire with predefined criteria.
