Three-dimensional computerized tomography provides a new approach to radiological imaging. Raw data from sequential two-dimensional scans have been reconstructed as a three-dimensional model of the carpal area using the Medical Graphics and Imaging Workstation. This study demonstrates the anatomical accuracy and potential diagnostic qualities of a reconstruction of the carpus using this system. The advantages, pitfalls and suggested applications of this technique of carpal imaging are discussed. Three-dimensional imaging is shown to provide a great deal of information which cannot be viewed on conventional radiographs or CT images.
