title: A simple device for the stereoscopic display of 3D CT images.
abstract: We describe a simple device for creating true 3D views of image pairs obtained at 3D CT reconstruction. The device presents the images in a slightly different angle of view for the left and the right eyes. This true 3D viewing technique was applied experimentally in the evaluation of complex acetabular fractures. Experiments were also made to determine the optimal angle between the images for each eye. The angle varied between 1 degree and 7 degrees for different observers and also depended on the display field of view used.
