Summary:Skull base tumors are considered one of the most difficult pathologic entities to diagnose and treat. The physician is heavily dependent on imaging studies to determine the best form of treatment. As imaging technology becomes more advanced, the physician will need to be able to intuitively explore the complex data. Such intuitive exploration requires the use of high performance computer hardware and software. Issues related to this concept and a summary of current work in this area are presented.
