Preparing anatomical scan data for sharing online

Abstract

This paper gives an overview of working with anatomical scan data such as CT and surface scans. The various types of scans are discussed along with their pros and cons, before going on to provide a detailed guide as to how these can be further post-processed. A method for cleaning and enhancing scan data using the 3D modelling software ZBrush is outlined. Finally, a method for sharing the resulting scans online via Sketchfab is presented.
