Abstract

Currently, there are a number of software programs designed to provide three-dimensional reformatting of computed tomography (CT) and to operate on computer equipment supplied with CT acquisition systems. These programs, unless operating on an independent work station, are subordinate to the reconstruction programs necessary for slice display. This method facilitates handling of the great volume of data to be processed. Consequently, when reference is made to a work station, it is a dedicated work station, currently the IIS (Dimensional Medicine, Inc., Minnetonka, Minnesota).
