Review: Medical modelling is the creation of highly accurate physical models of human anatomy directly from medical scan data. The process involves capturing human anatomy data, processing the data to isolate individual tissues or organs, optimising the data for the technology to be used and finally building the model using rapid prototyping (RP) techniques. This book describes the stages needed to produce high quality medical models and offers an insight into the techniques and technologies that are commonly used. There are chapters on: medical imaging for rapid prototyping; export data format and media; Working with medical scan data; Physical reproduction – rapid prototyping technologies; and 7 case studies.
