Three-dimensional reconstruction of the foot from computed tomography scans.
Recently developed computer programs create a new type of image from the sections created in computed tomography. These images look like actual photographs of internal structures. The authors describe the process of three-dimensional reconstruction in nonmathematical terms, and provide examples of its use in imaging the bones of the foot. They demonstrate the technique's ability to resolve small details, and its usefulness in displaying articular surfaces.
