Up to now three-dimensional reconstructions in computed tomography have been applied mainly to the skeleton. This limitation is due to technical difficulties when dealing with images of the soft tissues. In order to overcome these limitations three new softwares were developed, thus enabling the operator to pre-elaborate and modify the axial CT images. The first program allows the operator to isolate the lesion and/or the anatomical structures of interest from the surrounding areas. The second program eliminates the areas of isodensity with the lesion it is obtained by means of a trackball. The third program enables the operator to write the modified axial images on the original file. The lesion and/or the structures of interest can thus be processed more easily by the 3D reconstructive program. The new softwares have been applied to 3D reconstructions of brain lesions, and two significant cases are presented. Furthermore, since the new softwares can enhance the quality of 3D images of the skeleton, the programs were also tested in cases of acetabular traumas.
