Comparison of 3d reformat computed tomography images using different softwares: do they have an incremental value in 3D imaging?

Abstract

Three dimensional (3D) imaging gained an important diagnostic role because of providing the precise diagnosis in computed tomography (CT) studies. Various 3D softwares such as; VitreaWorkstation - Toshiba, Japan; OsiriX-Switzerland; Volume Viewer-General Electric, USA have been manufactured to improve its diagnostic ability. Providing the deep sense and dimensional perception, the aim of this prospective study is to compare the native 3D (N3D) CT images with 2 anaglyph images by using different softwares and delineate their contribution to 3D CT imaging.
