An anatomical 3D model is a physical or digital representation of an organ, system, or anatomical structure of the human body . These models are used across medicine and medical technology for visualization, education, training, research, and clinical decision-making. Some models are generic , based on standard human anatomy. Others are patient-specific , created directly from medical imaging data such as CT or MRI scans. That distinction, generic versus personalized, is wher

From Medical Imaging to Personalized Surgery Preoperative surgical planning in three dimensions (3D) is a relatively recent but transformative development in modern medicine. Instead of relying solely on two dimensional (2D) medical images and intraoperative decision making, surgeons can now plan complex procedures in advance, based on an accurate, patient-specific 3D representation of anatomy. This approach fundamentally changes how surgery is prepared, communicated, and exe

There's a phrase I often hear: “VR, XR , it's all the same thing, right?” That’s a bit like saying “cheese and cottage cheese, same thing.” They sound similar, but they’re not. The truth is that VR  is only one part of a much broader umbrella called XR , Extended Reality .XR includes all the “realities” we know: VR, AR, MR , but also two earlier eras, CR  ( Classic Reality ), the age of stationary computers, and PR  ( Portable Reality ), the age of mobile devices. We all alr
