Abstract
Techniques for providing clearance, notification, and selection of use related to certification of 3D anatomical models for pre-surgical planning are provided. In one technique, a collection of sets of one or more files for generating a 3D anatomical model is stored. First input to print a 3D anatomical model based on a set of one or more files in the collection is received from a requester computer. In response to determining that the to-be-printed 3D anatomical model is not associated with a predetermined certification, a user interface is updated to indicate that the 3D anatomical model cannot be used for a diagnostic purpose. Second input that indicates that a user of the requester computer accepts using the 3D anatomical model for only non-diagnostic purposes is received. After receiving the second input, the 3D anatomical model is generated.
