With the aid of technology, it is possible to create 3D models through the reconstruction of 2D medical imaging data, such as CT scans and MRI images. These are examples of 3D reconstruction using open-source visualization software, employing both direct and indirect volume rendering techniques. These 3D models serve multiple purposes, including patient education and treatment planning, as they offer spatial information of complex anatomical structures.
