Abstract :
In this work, we provide specific clinical examples to demonstrate basic practical techniques involved in image
segmentation, computer-aided design, and 3D printing. A step-by-step approach using United States Food and
Drug Administration cleared software is provided to enhance surgical intervention in a patient with a complex
superior sulcus tumor. Furthermore, patient-specific device creation is demonstrated using dedicated computer-
aided design software. Relevant anatomy for these tasks is obtained from CT Digital Imaging and Communications
in Medicine images, leading to the generation of 3D printable files and delivery of these files to a 3D printer.
