Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure provides devices and methods for obtaining images of body parts, implants, bones, and other areas of a patient that are involved in plastic or reconstructive surgery. A scanning device obtains an image of a body part of a patient to be replicated, sends it to a computer for review and/or manipulation, and the computer sends it to a printer or fabricator for reproduction. The scanning device, computer, and/or printer can be co-located, meaning that they are within the same facility. As an alternative to scanning the patient's body part, the computer of the present disclosure can obtain an image of the required body part from a stored set of anthropometric data on a database. The surgeon can modify the part produced from the anthropometric data as needed.
