Use of a thin-section archive and enterprise 3-dimensional software for long-term storage of thin-slice CT data sets-a reviewers' response.
Current developments in storage solutions, PACS, and client-server systems allow for 3D imaging at the desktop. This can be achieved together with full storage into PACS of all slices, including the very large thin-section CT datasets. This paper describes a possible setup, which has been in operation for several years now, in response to an article by Meenan et al. previously published in this journal (1).
