Table 1 Stages of the anatomical modeling process

From: Creating patient-specific anatomical models for 3D printing and AR/VR: a supplement for the 2018 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) hands-on course

Step 1: Image Acquisition

 - Select imaging modality

 - Set appropriate protocols

 - Export data to independent image post-processing workstation

Step 2: Image Post-Processing

 - Isolate tissues and organs of interest

 - Prepare files for data visualization method of choice

 - Save and transfer data in an appropriate format

Step 3: 3D Visualization or Physical Reproduction

 - Create 3D computer model

 - Prepare model for AR, VR, or 3D printing
