Three-dimensional CAT scan reconstruction--pediatric patients.
Pediatric craniofacial deformities are highly complex disorders. The development of high-speed computers and related software has recently permitted three-dimensional graphics reconstruction of these deformities based on CT and NMR scan data. Such three-dimensional reconstructions are highly useful in the diagnosis, preoperative planning, and postoperative assessment of these complex deformities.
