Geometrical comparison of three dimensional models of the human radius bone created with different medical programs

In this study, the data of the human Radius bone obtained from three different programs used in the medical sector and enabling the creation of tissues in three dimensions (3D), were compared statistically with both each other and the data created by the reference method. The reference method was determined as a 3D laser scanner, which is one of the devices used in the reverse engineering method. The medical programs used in the study were selected as Mimics, 3D Slicer and 3D Doctor. In the statistical analysis performed in the study, the comparisons between the four groups were made with the Kruskal Wallis test, and the pairwise comparisons of the groups were made with the Mann Withney U test. According to the results of the analysis, it was seen that there was no significant difference (p<0.05) between the methods as a result of both comparisons. These results lead us to the conclusion that all three programs in the medical field can be used interchangeably within the scope of our research.
