Anatomy & Physiology. While there are several cues that allow a person to determine the size, shape, and depth of an object, such as object motion, rotation of the object in space, relative size, shadows, linear viewing, and perspective viewing, stereopsis, or stereoscopic vision, is the single most important mechanism for providing depth cues. Conclusions. The stereoscopic display adds valuable information that assists in identification of fetal bony structures, such as cranial sutures and spinal vertebrae, particularly in complex formations.

Stereoscopic viewing provided a statistically significant improvement compared with conventional viewing, improved conspicuity of complex bony structures, and added structural detail information that assisted in identification of complex anatomy in 14% of the fetal skull and 26% of the fetal spine cases. Overlapping structures were better identified on the volume-rendered stereoscopic display. Stereoscopic viewing improved differentiation of near and far structures. | < Prev | Next > |
