Abstract

At present, technology has made great progress, allowing tools that in the past were only used for a specific task and be applied to solve different purposes. This is the case computed tomography that was only used for medical diagnoses by means of two-dimensional visualization (sagittal, coronal and transverse cuts) or three-dimensional representations, when placing one cut over another. However, this visualization can have a better use, since it is possible that, through specialized tools such as three-dimensional reconstruction, a biomodel whith a great biofidelity is a achieved allowing a better an understanding of a human body´s zone. In addition, Biomodels can be used for teaching, training and planning in both medical areas and Biomechanics.
