A SIMPLE DEVICE FOR THE STEREOSCOPIC DISPLAY OF 3D CT IMAGES

We describe a simple device for creating true 3D Views of image pairs obtained at 3D CT reconstruction. The device presents the images in a slightly different angle of view for the left and the right eyes. This true 3D viewing technique was applied experimentally in the evaluatio n of complex acetabular fractures. Experiments were also made to deter mine the optimal angle between the images for each eye. The angle Vari ed between 1 degrees and 7 degrees for different observers and also de pended on the display field of view used.
