ClinConnect Summary

3D rendering of craniomaxillofacial structures is based on the segmentation process. Semi-automatic segmentation has been pointed out as the technique of choice since it combines the high efficiency and repeatability of the automatic methods with the experience of an operator. Although the creation of 3D models is very important, it is still not a common procedure, since commercial software often requires higher electronic computer power and is licensed by its manufacturer, increasing the financial costs. In the last few years, several open-source software can be obtained for free such as I...
