“…Nevertheless, the added value of seeing the imaged tissue and anatomy in depth was such that stereo x-rays remained a commonly used technique in radiology departments until the advent of serial "slice"-based x-ray techniques, such as CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Over the years, stereoscopic imaging has been applied, to advantage, to many different parts of the human body, including the brain, 8 the hand and wrist, 9 the rib cage, 10 the breast, 11,12 the lungs, 13 and the vascular system. 14 In recent years, the development of digital radiography, high-resolution digital display systems, and high-quality stereo viewing devices has made possible the development of medical stereoscopic imaging techniques that do not suffer from the limitations of the earlier film-based methods.…”

Abstract— Stereoscopic 3‐D digital imaging holds the promise of improving the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of disease as well as enhancing the training and preparation of medical professionals through use of stereoscopic 3‐D displays in concert with the many volumetric visualization techniques/modalities developed in recent years. While so‐called 3‐D graphics have improved the state of computer visualization in general, 3‐D displays make full use of the human‐visual perception, and thus can provide critical insight in complex computer‐generated and video 3‐D data. The stereo 3‐D applications reviewed in this paper include screening of breast cancer and diabetic retinopathy, visualization for minimally invasive surgery, and the teaching of anatomy. Also included is a discussion of ground‐breaking results from a stereo digital mammography clinical trial under way at Emory University.

“…The classical neuroanatomical method of computed or photographic reconstruction from serial sections implies considerable uncertainties in topographical respect [Kraus, 1962: Witelson, 1977: Mai, 1978: Lange et al, 1980: Jacket and v. Keyserlingk. 1980r. Keyserlingk et al, 1983;Re gel, 1984).…”

A procedure is described yielding computed images of postmortem brains with high topographic accuracy. Structures of the brain are traced and registered by means of a digitizer capable of measuring coordinates three-dimensionally. The information corresponding to one brain model is stored on a flexible disk with a capacity of 256 Kbytes. According to the output desired, the resulting brain images are either completely or partially displayed on the computer screen as stereo pairs. The brain models possess a local fidelity of about 1 mm. The images are useful in simultaneously studying superficial and central parts of the brain, spatial relationships of the various structures and the projection of deep structures onto the surface of the brain. A RAM of about 100 Kbytes is necessary for a program enabling the user to perform stereo projections, three-dimensional transformations and other image manipulations. The special features of anatomical computer imaging as compared to computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMR) are outlined. A combination of these different techniques seems to improve clinical diagnosis.

This review gives an inventory of 58 computer-aided three-dimensional reconstruction applications in the domain of biomedical research. It is devoted to the formulation of a set of recommendations thought to be necessary for improved performance of software packages in this field. These recommendations can be used to select packages and to guide future developments of existing reconstruction systems. The survey is restricted to three-dimensional reconstructions based upon a series of parallel sections of an object. Subjects treated are programming languages, resolution and sampling, input preparation, realignment, local deformation of slices, numerical quantifications, topological complexity, internal representation, display complexity (hidden surfaces, shading, smoothing), structure extraction, descriptive elements, database, data compression, time efficiency of systems and algorithms, hardware configuration, input devices, input media, interactive aids, display devices, and output devices. Information for this survey comes from articles that appeared between 1965 and 1985.
