This article presents an overview of 3D image acquisition with computed tomography and magnetic resonance from the perspective of obtaining accurate images suitable for 3D printing. Other topics include a review of the art of 3D visualization vs 3D printing, as well as the role of rapid prototyping using 3D printing technologies to assist surgeons in optimizing surgical decisions.</style></abstract><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume></record></records></xml>
