[Urologic area].
In this review, the clinical experience of a three-dimensional(3D) image at urologic area are described. There are some methods for reconstructive 3D image of Multi-slice CT. Maximum intensity projection (MIP) is usefulness for detection of vascular anatomy. Multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) is usefulness for relation with circumference organs. Therefore the opportunities of angiography decreased. It seems that an applied range of a 3D image spreads more in future.
