title: Three-dimensional reconstruction of an iliac artery aneurysm in a man with obstructive uropathy.
abstract: Reconstruction of three-dimensional images is performed either by scanner-based systems or by independent computers. The advantages of a stand-alone system include compatibility with multiple imaging modalities, more advanced technology, and increased user interaction. This report illustrates the use of a stand-alone system for the less commonly utilized purpose of three-dimensional reconstruction of abdominal soft tissues. It further demonstrates the merit of three-dimensional imaging as an important diagnostic adjunct and as a valuable source of preoperative surgical information.
