Development of Male Skeletal 3D Model for Applications in Medicine

Three-dimensional (3D) models have significantly transformed medical practice, education, and research in the healthcare field. This study examines the diverse applications of 3D models in the field of medicine, encompassing a wide range of applications such as basic organ simulations, intricate surgical procedures, and personalized medicine. These models provide a comprehensive depiction of anatomical features and clinical settings using sophisticated imaging techniques and Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools. Furthermore, the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology has significantly improved the usefulness of 3D models, offering immersive experiences and innovative opportunities for studying and executing complex tasks. However, one of the key issues in the development of all these applications connecting informatics and medicine is the quality of 3D models of human anatomy. In this paper, we compare two generic male models, analyze them quantitatively and introduce one more model that takes the best of both. We then compare newly modified model and quantitatively compare it with the previous models. In the development of the model, we focus on human male skeletal model.
