title: [Value of three-dimensional surface reconstruction scanning in urology. Preliminary results].
abstract: The development of helicoidal CT acquisition allows 3D reconstruction of vessels, cavities or parenchyma of mobile organs such as the kidney. The value of this 3D surface reconstruction was investigated in various areas of urology: congenital malformations (horseshoe kidney, megaureter, ectopic organs), acquired malformations (diverticulum, trabeculated bladder), renal stones, particularly staghorn calculi, and renal transplantation. The fields of interest of 3D CT scans are still poorly defined, but are probably threefold: diagnostic, therapeutic and for teaching purposes. 3D representation completes classical axial scans and, in some cases, competes with other more invasive imaging techniques.
