title: [Value of volume rendering in musculo-skeletal disorders].
abstract: Three dimensional imaging is increasingly important for evaluation of anatomic relationships and extent of disease, for treatment planning and for follow-up evaluation. The volume rendering technique allows creation of accurate 3D images that can be used for several clinical applications especially in musculo-skeletal disorders such as evaluation of tumors or fractures. This article describes the methods used for volume rendering technique and focuses on the specific aspects of volume rendering applied to musculo-skeletal applications.
