Advances in three-dimensional imaging now provide the radiologist and referring physician with the ability to create accurate three-dimensional models of any part of the human body. The major area of clinical applications of three-dimensional imaging has been in orthopedics. This paper presents a review of the basic applications of 3D imaging in such areas as trauma, oncology, degenerative arthritis, and congenital disease. The techniques used for the generation of three-dimensional images is presented as well as a detailed description of some of the basic clinical applications of three-dimensional imaging. A preview of some of the more advanced and newer applications of three-dimensional imaging in regard to orthopedics is also reviewed.
