Three-dimensional volumetric visualization of arteriovenous malformation of the maxilla.
The appearance of an arteriovenous malformation is described from images derived from spiral CT and reconstructed in three dimensions using computer graphics. The existence and shape of a vascular malformation is demonstrated using a vascular protocol. This three-dimensional CT technique is an important adjunct to diagnosis using CT, MRI and conventional radiography.
