The ability to visualize, non-invasively, human internal organs
in their true from and shape has intrigued mankind for
centuries. While the recent inventions of medical imaging
modalities such as computerized tomography and magnetic
resonance imaging have revolutionized radiology, the development
of three-dimensional (3D) imaging has brought us closer to the
age-old quest of non-invasive visualization. The ability to not
only visualize but to manipulate and analyze 3D structures from
captured multidimensional image data, is vital to a number of
diagnostic and therapeutic applications. 3D Imaging in Medicine,
Second Edition, unique in its contents, covers both the
technical aspects and the actual medical applications of the
process in a single source. The value of this technology is
obvious. For example, three dimensional imaging allows a
radiologist to accurately target the positioning and dosage of
chemotherapy as well as to make more accurate diagnoses by
showing more pathology; it allows the vascular surge
