ABSTRACT

The introduction of spiral/helical computed tomography (CT) in the early 1990s led to exciting new applications in the eld of three-dimensional reconstruction of the former, mostly two-dimensional, axial CT cross-sections. 3D-reconstructed CT data enable the depiction of a variety of pathologies at a glance, even from a radiologically inexperienced viewpoint (e.g., police ofcers, attorneys, judges).
