Abstract

A 3D scan data of an anatomical structure is obtained. The 3D scan data is transmitted to a remote facility for further use. For example, the three-dimensional scan data can be used to design an anatomical device, manufacture an anatomical device, monitor structural changes of the anatomy, archive data pertaining to the anatomical structure, perform a closed-loop iterative analysis of the anatomical structure, perform an interactive consultation of the structure, perform simulations based upon the structure, make a diagnosis related to the anatomical structure, determine a treatment plan based on the anatomical structure, manufacture the anatomical device, perform a verification of a treatment or structure, or for educational purposes.
