Abstract
A few years ago, a discussion of three-dimensional (3D) and virtual reality imaging might have been overly futuristic and perhaps of marginal interest to those in clinical practice. However, the rapid rise of techniques, such as computed tomography angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and the development of multislice CT (MSCT) with data files that now reach a thousand slices per data set, demand 3D solutions.
