They are where form and contour matters, which you can't always deduce from a orthographic 3 Panel view. In my current case the form and thickness variation of nerves in Parkinson's patients is looked at and analyzed. Since nerve curve through space like worms, looking at curvature in raw image data is unpractical, especially since it's not always apparent whether you look at the cross section at an angle.

I’m not sure if it’s a language issue or a research vs clinical practice issue, but this sounds like something that diffusion tensor imaging would used for with special analysis packages for analyzing the volume and spatial relationships of neurons.

The software shown is for CT data, which is abysmal for evaluating white matter bundles. Any links to your research? Always useful to learn about other applications of imaging.

This renderer wouldn't really help with that problem though would it? It sounds like what you could use is software to transform that curved path into a straight line so you can look at it end on.
