Abstract:
Medical application of three-dimensional(3D) imaging had started from the region of skull and intracranial structures since this part of human body has not been affected by respiratory motion. Computed tomography(CT) has been the primary modality of choice for the acquisition of volumetric data for last 20 years. Recent advancement of multislice CT enabled us to obtain true isotropic volumetric data, which can be an ideal source data for 3D imaging. Another innovation in volume visualization in the development and improvement of 3D-imaging algorithm including volume rendering and multiplanar reformatted image(MPR).
