InVesaliusis a free medicalsoftwareused to generate virtual reconstructions of structures in the human body. Based on two-dimensional images, acquired usingcomputed tomographyormagnetic resonance imagingequipment, the software generates virtual three-dimensional models correspondent to anatomical parts of the human body. After constructing three-dimensionalDICOMimages, the software allows the generation ofSTL(stereolithography) files. These files can be used forrapid prototyping.
InVesalius was developed atCTI(Renato Archer Information Technology Center), a research institute of the Brazilian Science and Technology Center and is available at no cost at the homepage ofPublic Software Portal homepage.The software license is CC-GPL 2. It is available inEnglish,Japanese,Czech,Portuguese (Brazil),Russian,Spanish,Italian,German,Portuguese,Turkish (Turkey),Romanian,French,Korean,Catalan,Chinese (Taiwan)andGreek.
InVesalius was developed usingPythonand works underLinux,WindowsandMac OS X.It also uses graphic librariesVTK,wxPython,Numpy,ScipyandGDCM.
The software's name is a tribute to Belgian physicianAndreas Vesalius(1514–1564), considered the "father of modern anatomy". Developed since 2001 for attending Brazilian Public Hospitals demands, InVesalius development was directed for promoting social inclusion of individuals with severe facial deformities. Since then, however, it has been employed in various research areas ofdentistry,medicine,veterinary medicine,paleontologyandanthropology.It has been used not only in public hospitals, but also in private clinics and hospitals.
Until 2017, the software had already been used for generating more than 5000 rapid prototyping models of anatomical structures atPromed project.
