Abstract

This work presents InVesalius, an open-source software for analysis and visualization of medical images. The tool has supported several surgeries in hospitals and has been downloaded from more than a hundred countries around the world. Its main characteristics, aspects of implementation, and applications in areas such as image segmentation, mesh generation, volume rendering, and 3D printing of anatomic models are described.
