Objectives ：Patients with neck tumor and their family need every information about the disease. Especially, the size and location are confusing with verbal information. With the aid of CT, the problem had some answer, but it needs some medical education. We would like to know the usefullness of 3D reconstructed images in pa-tient education about the disease. Material and Methods ：Neck CT data were collected from 10 patients with various neck tumors and converted to 3D reconstructed images. Understanding of the patients about the size and location of tumors were rated from questionaires using axial CT images and 3D images. Results ：Understand-ing score about 3D images were greater than that of CT images(p<0.006). Conclusion ：3D reconstructed ima-ges of CT could give the patients more real visual information about the disease. |
