Three-dimensional computed tomographic imaging

Abstract

Recent developments in imaging techniques now allow reconstruction of actual three-dimensional images from computed tomographic data. This article discusses the basic concepts involved in three-dimensional imaging and reviews its potential as a diagnostic and management tool for the clinical ophthalmologist. New computer techniques allow review of actual three-dimensional images in both static and dynamic formats. This can allow the clinician to define more accurately a normal and pathologic anatomy involving skeletal structures in particular.
