title: A simple three-dimensional display model based on recorded CT scan films for surgical reference technical note.
abstract: A simple method of making a three-dimensional display model of recorded computerized tomography (CT) scan films is presented. The reconstructed display model provides useful information as to surgical approaches to intracranial mass lesions. The actual size and three dimensional shape of a lesion and its topographical relationship to surrounding brain structures are easily grasped by directly handling this model.
