title: [A new method of 3-dimensional reconstruction of the head and neck].
abstract: In the past decades the development of MRI has significantly increased the importance of diagnostic imaging of head and neck lesions. The standard imaging method is based on two-dimensional slices. The present study was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of 3D MRI-reconstructions for head and neck lesions. The 3D reconstruction method and the results of the 3D-reconstructed images are presented. Important aspects of the interesting structures can be evaluated much more easily with reconstructed images than by mentally reconstructing two-dimensional slices. In the light of the present results, 3D reconstruction promises to be an accurate method for the diagnosis of head and neck lesions and might be of clinical importance in the future.
