Imaging, Three-Dimensional

Medical Definition: The process of generating three-dimensional images by electronic or photographic methods. For example three 3-dimensional images can be generated by assembling multiple tomographic images with the aid of a computer, while photographic 3-D images (HOLOGRAPHY) can be made by exposing film to the interference pattern created when two laser light sources shine on an object.
Guide Notes: for analysis of images use IMAGE ANALYSIS, COMPUTER-ASSISTED
Also Called: 3-D Image,Imaging, Three-Dimensional, Computer Assisted
Imaging, Three-Dimensional Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Echocardiography, Three-Dimensional - Echocardiography amplified by the addition of depth to the conventional two-dimensional ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY visualizing only the length and width of the heart. Three-dimensional ultrasound imaging was first described in 1961 but its application to echocardiography did not take place until 1974. (Mayo Clin Proc 1993;68:221-40)
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Holography - The recording of images in three-dimensional form on a photographic film by exposing it to a laser beam reflected from the object under study.
