Three-dimensional imaging in medicine: holography

Two holographic methods for three-dimensional imaging in medicine are presented. The methods can be applied on the base of various primary projection methods, especially those of nuclear medicine and roentgenology. This three-dimensional display, which is not bound to complicated technical equipments such as computers and graphic displays, can be performed easily at any place: in conference rooms, in surgical units etc. It may be of particular importance for the surgeon in order to visualize the site directly and in its real space dimensions.
