Surface scanning soft tissues.
We investigate and report a method of 3D virtual organ creation based on the RGB color laser surface scanning of preserved biological specimens. The surface attributes of these specimens result in signal degredation and increased scanning time. Despite these problems we are able to reproduce 3D virtual organs with both accurate topology and colour consistency capable of reproducing pathological lesions.
