Three-dimensional display of liver, spleen, hepatoma, and blood vessels by MR imaging and computer graphics.
The technique of generating 3-D images from CT and MR data has made progress. Manipulation of the images has become simpler, the processing time shorter, and the quality better. Clinical application of this technique has been performed for images of brain (5, 7, 8) and bone (1, 2, 6), but only a few studies have been done of abdominal organs (3, 4).
