Paragraph Number

264

Once suitable medical imaging 1030 is captured / created, the medical imaging 1030 is provided to the segmentor 1020. The segmentor 1020 takes the medical imaging 1030 from the medical imager 1010 and produces a form of the medical imaging 1030 in a format suitable for use by the system 1000. For example, in one embodiment, medical imager 1010 may be embodied as a computed tomography (CT) scan scanner. The medical imager 1010 may scan a patient’s foot to generate medical imaging 1030 for bones and/or internal structures of a patient’s foot. The medical imaging 1030 captured by the medical imager 1010 may be stored in a file format known as a DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) file or files.
