Patient Care
Clinical services of the Stanford Radiology 3D Medical Imaging Laboratory include 3D rendering of CT and MR images, as well as quantitation of anatomical structures and pathology, to aid in diagnosis and presurgical planning.
Rendering techniques include curved planar, oblique, and multiplanar reconstruction; average, maximum and minimum intensity projections; virtual endoscopy; and volume rendering. Real-time assessment of anatomical structures in motion is achieved with 4D temporal rendering.
Clinical services currently making use of our 3D services include:
- Surgery (general, vascular, cardiothoracic, neuro, plastic, and orthopedics)
- Pulmonology
- Gastroenterology
- Cardiology
- Urology/Nephrology
- Pediatrics
- Medicine
- Neurology
