DICOM segmentation and STL creation for 3D printing: a process and software package comparison for osseous anatomy

Abstract Background Extracting and three-dimensional (3D) printing an organ in a region of interest in DICOM images typically calls for segmentation as a first step in support of 3D printing. The DICOM images are not exported to STL data immediately, but segmentation masks are exported to STL models...
