Abstract
- A new technique for evaluation of skeletal pathology is described. The use of three-dimensional reformations based on conventional computed tomographic imaging is a technique that has been used by craniofacial surgeons since 1982 and more recently by orthopedic surgeons at the Adelaide (Australia) Children's Hospital for evaluation of pediatric skeletal pathology. Four cases are presented that demonstrate our early experience with the technique. Three-dimensional reformation is an effective method of translating conventional computed tomographic scans into a readily understood three-dimensional image. We believe that the method will be of increasing value in the evaluation of pediatric skeletal pathology.
