Abstract

Objective To discuss how to convert medical images into a 3D model and embed them in a Portable Document Format (PDF) file. Methods Three opensource programs, 3D Slicer,MeshLab,TeXstudio, were used to volume clipping with ROI for segmentation models and embed them in 3D PDF. Results 3D Slicer used a variety of methods for model segmentation,Meshlab carried out model cleaning and segmentationand, generated TEX format files, exported U3D format files,and then generated 3D PDF files that were compiled by TeXstudio. Conclusion The method introduced in this paper is simple and easy to learn, and is helpful to promote the production and use of 3D PDF.
