    Abstract:
    A computer-generated virtual model has been developed that reconstructs the head in three dimensions from digitalized images obtained with magnetic resonance and computerized tomography. Through programming and the use of commercial graphic animation software, we have developed the whole process of the rotation of the head on different spatial planes. The procedure permits multidirectional anatomical sections to be made on the structure of the head, providing a true dynamic and user-friendly anatomical-radiological atlas. The system serves as a virtual model for the localization of an ideal surgical approach to any lesion thus avoiding possible neurological lesions.
