Three-dimensional CT scan of hemimandibular hyperplasia: case report.

Three-dimensional images of craniofacial structures are reconstructed from conventional CT scans with the use of special computer software. These reconstructed images do not exhibit magnification nor superimposition of CT scans of structures. Quantitative measurements of three-dimensional craniofacial structures can be very precise. This technique has broad applications in the field of special patient care and is demonstrated in a case report of hemimandibular hyperplasia.
