title: [Modern image analysis processes as support for spatial reconstruction of histological structures].
abstract: Spatial reconstruction of anatomic and histologic structures is of increasing importance in biological and medical research. A special kind of disease--hereditary opalescent dentine (HOD)--offered a good chance for the use of a comfortable image-analysis system (IBAS, Kontron) in combination with a special software for three-dimensional reconstruction. New aspects of the morphologic organisation of a key structure of HOD--the giant dentinal canals--could be shown, thus supporting the hypothesis of a vasal origin.
