From CT and MRI to physical models: an in-house workflow

Practice case · 29 August 2025

Mayo Clinic's professional news report describes an in-house workflow that starts with CT or MRI, converts imaging into virtual anatomical models, and proceeds through printing, post-processing and quality checks.

The work involves radiologists, surgeons, engineers and healthcare technicians. The report also describes an electronic medical record ordering route for anatomical models, cutting guides, virtual surgical planning and custom devices. Read Mayo Clinic's account.

Collaboration perspective

The operational lesson is the connection between a clinical request, a digital design and a controlled manufacturing handoff. This is AustinEco's editorial interpretation of the reported workflow, not an assessment of a particular patient's treatment.

This is an institutional practice report, not a comparative clinical trial. It does not establish equivalent outcomes for other facilities, or imply a partnership between Mayo Clinic and AustinEco.
