We present the use of computer-aided 3D reconstruction to evaluate and visualize digital CT and MR data. As personal computers get faster, we have the opportunity to inspect the data independently of the – sometimes-expensive – radiological workstations. Free software such as Slicer3D can help us with this task.

We used commodity PC hardware with OpenSolaris to port, compile, and run Slicer and evaluate the scans.

We present 3D reconstructed and combined CT/MR images of patients with acoustic neuroma. We also present both objective and subjective audiological findings of the patients, and evaluate them in connection with the neuroma’s volume we measured with the software.
