摘要: This paper provides an overview of the main techniques being used for three-dimensional (3D) visualization medical data sets and highlights some clinical benefits that can be obtained. One major advantages using a 3D representation is all slice produced by latest multislice CT high gradient MR scanners utilized, then presented to clinician in intuitive format. Continued advances technology mean resolution representations patient specific anatomy now routinely obtained so provide valuable input diagnosis, planning navigation tasks. Examples from these areas are illustrated below. Future developments possibilities also discussed.
