Abstract
IntroductionThree-dimensional medical imaging provides a non-invasive visualization of human anatomy. These 3Dimages can supplant the diagnostic information in the 2D cross-sectional images provided by X-ray computedtomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The 3D images also enhance communicationbetween the radiologist, who has special training to interpret the CT and MRI images, and thereferring physician or surgeon, who are often more comfortable with 3D presentations.
