The traditional treatment for brain cancer includes surgery, Radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The neurosurgeon usually plans the surgery by utilizing two Dimensional MRI images. It is difficult to determine the size and exact location of tumor for safest surgical approach to minimizing permanent damage to normal tissue. In this study such problems are minimized by creating the 3D printed models of brain tumors from medical imaging processing software by utilizing MRI data sets. The data from MRI has been saved as DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). The 3D model of patient¿s specific brain tumor will be produced by interfacing DICOM data with 3D slicer. 3D printer can produce solid 3D model using STL file generated from 3D slicer. 3D printed model of Brain Tumor could serve as a tool for preoperative surgical planning.
