title: A three-dimensional graphic reconstruction method of the vertebral column from CT scans.
abstract: The method of graphic reconstruction using the oblique view technique was applied on the transverse CT scans of the vertebral column. In the scanning procedure the low-dose thin-slice technique was used. The method proved valuable for the construction of three-dimensional models as reliable reproduction of the original. The results are useful for preoperative evaluation of the deformed spine as well as for anatomic research.
