Three-dimensional CT reformations in the assessment of congenital and traumatic cranio-facial deformities.
Standard radiography and computed tomography (CT) produce two-dimensional representations of anatomical structures under investigation. Recent developments in computer software now enable the production, from a series of conventional CT sections, of three-dimensional images of complex anatomical structures thus providing an opportunity for improved diagnosis and treatment planning.
