Abstract
Head & neck surgeons are heavily reliant on radiological imaging for the diagnosis, treatment planning and delivery of care in a wide range of specialities. A detailed knowledge and understanding of surgical anatomy is of course crucial in performing procedures safely. Cross-sectional imaging requires the surgeon to mentally reconstruct these images in 3D utilising 'the minds eye' allowing the individual to perform the surgical procedure with this knowledge in advance. There is a tacit assumption that all surgeons visualise the same mentally reconstructed images. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in the ability to cognitively reconstruct cross-sectional images into a 3D form.
