Back to Projects List

Key Investigators

• Juan Ruiz Alzola (Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain)
• Michael Halle (Harvard University)

Project Description

From DICOM data to a 3D print of anatomical models for training: anatomy classes and/or surgical planning

Objective	Approach and Plan	Progress and Next Steps
Develop and document a workflow to process the adquired DICOM images Improve the segmentation mechanics in order to extract the data to print Prepare the STL files for printing: checking the mesh and creating the support structures	Before Project Week: Know the "state of the art" of 3d printer options and materials Diving into the DICOM and NRRD file structure During Project Week: Stablish the guidelines for the segmentation procedures Identify the STL export issues
