Table 1 Stages of the anatomical modeling process
| 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 |
