Abstract :
The author discusses his use of three-dimensional imaging for the past decade to provide clinical information to surgeons. It has been used in craniofacial disorders, cerebrovascular disorders, tumors of the skull base, spinal disorders, and other osseous disorders. He observes that the increased cost of production of the studies is more than offset by the reduced operating room and hospital stay that this information facilitates
