The quality of medical education increases when students have access to 3D models of real organs instead of being limited to two-dimensional images or standardized models. Although it is already possible to view models of organs on the computer or via augmented reality, until now these models were usually computer-modeled and therefore merely generic. In contrast to those, 3D scans of real organs can prepare future physicians for anomalies and individual characteristics that they will later have to deal with in their daily clinical routine. For the first time, these essential skills can be partially acquired without having to perform autopsies. In addition, realistic visualizations are helpful for the communication between doctors and patients, in order to clarify facts in explanatory talks, realistically using real 3D models of organs or to visualize the complex course of an upcoming operation more precisely.
