Abstract
When three-dimensional (3D) imaging was introduced in the early 1980s, it was offered as a simplified method of interpreting large-volume data sets, allowing better perception of large-scale spatial relationships. In the beginning, 3D imaging suffered because of problems such as poor image quality, long processing time, as well as high costs. These issues together with the lack of economic stimulus contributed to the radiologists’ reluctance to accept 3D imaging as a routine tool in clinical practice.
