Abstract: CT scans interpretation is no longer strictly related to the machine. They can be analysed with specialised software that allows for diagnosis, surgical and dental procedures planning. So, medical doctors can analyse and determine the step-by-step procedure in the actual phase with a computer. There are presented some real examples computed with Mimics software.

Keywords: CT scans; 3D reconstruction; virtual reconstruction; surgical planning; medical diagnosis; dental planning; computerised tomography; computer tomography.
