The medical field is advancing in its show ground by the use of the latest technologies to provide effective solutions in medical counseling, implantation part designing and medical education. One of the latest trends in medical field is the use of Mimics. It is a powerful image processing and editing software with a number of powerful features. The mimics software is used for 3D conversion. The various zoom or the rotation features can be used to study the models. The user interface provided is user friendly allowing the study of captured data to be easy and direct.

Mimics software has several modules which are designed to suit the user requirements. These modules are together combined to provide powerful medical image editing. Mimics imports images like CT, TechCT, MRI and Microscopy data in a wide variety of formats. It is used in medical implants for getting the 3D model of the part that is to be implanted. The Mimics software displays the CT data in a variety of ways providing very detailed information.

It gives the advantage of 3D visualization, measuring, editing, morphology, and Boolean operations to the surgeons to get a complete and accurate view of the specific part of the human body. It was used for the separation of twins joined at the head from their birth by giving a clear view of the skull using three life size dimensional models of the skull. The available Anthropometric templates explain the surgical procedure for easy implantation thus helping the surgical procedures. It is also used for screening of various types of cancer and retinal image analysis. The use of Mimics software has uplifted many projects by giving a better insight about the problem in the medical science field.
