[3-dimensional display of computed tomographic studies of craniofacial anomalies].
Craniofacial anomalies are conventionally investigated by cephalometry using ordinary radiographs and by computed tomography. Both methods have the major disadvantage of trying to demonstrate a complex three-dimensional structure, such as the skull, in two dimensions and they therefore cannot display a true spatial image. We present the principle underlying a three-dimensional display derived from computer tomographic studies and discuss the clinical application in the diagnosis of craniofacial anomalies.
