To design implants that are personalized to the patient’s anatomy and a specific surgical plan, engineers rely on medical imaging to create accurate anatomical reconstructions. CT image data is commonly required in orthopedic applications due to the volumetric dataset presented and clear contrast of bone, but MRI and X-ray data can also be used in unique cases. There are numerous commercially available software packages that convert a series of 2D medical images into 3D models. However, the focus of this chapter will be specifically on CT scanning (and its most common file format, DICOM), as it is commonly the ideal modality for most orthopedic applications.
