Three-dimensional images are formed from tomographic data collected such that each two-dimensional slice is tilted with respect to the transverse slice direction. Geometric distortion in the reconstructed 3-D image caused by the slice tilt is removed either during extraction of the 3-D surface from the tomographic data or during rendering of the final surface using a matrix transformation.
