“…Progressive and advanced outlining techniques have been described previously [3,4,8,17,18]. In those studies, sectioned and outlined images of a male cadaver [0.2 mm intervals; 0.2 mm pixels; 24 bit color depth; resolution, 3,040 × 2,008; tagged image file format (TIFF)] were made.…”

“…In total, 157 structures were subjected to surface reconstruction (Table 1) using Mimics software as described previously [17,18]. The models were then classified and saved as stereolithography (STL) files and subsequently accessed using Maya software.…”

“…[17,18] The STL files were constructed and saved under the filename botulinum.pdf using 4D Reviewer, a software package accompanying Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended (Adobe Systems, Inc., San Jose, CA, USA) [17,18]. Since the PDF file was accessed using Adobe Reader, the individual anatomical names and virtual injection of the BTX were described in the model tree window.…”

BackgroundThe Portable Document Format (PDF) is the standard file format for the communication of biomedical information via the internet and for electronic scholarly publishing. Although PDF allows for the embedding of three-dimensional (3D) objects and although this technology has great potential for the communication of such data, it is not broadly used by the scientific community or by clinicians.ObjectiveThe objective of this review was to provide an overview of existing publications that apply 3D PDF technology and the protocols and tools for the creation of model files and 3D PDFs for scholarly purposes to demonstrate the possibilities and the ways to use this technology.MethodsA systematic literature review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar. Articles searched for were in English, peer-reviewed with biomedical reference, published since 2005 in a journal or presented at a conference or scientific meeting. Ineligible articles were removed after screening. The found literature was categorized into articles that (1) applied 3D PDF for visualization, (2) showed ways to use 3D PDF, and (3) provided tools or protocols for the creation of 3D PDFs or necessary models. Finally, the latter category was analyzed in detail to provide an overview of the state of the art.ResultsThe search retrieved a total of 902 items. Screening identified 200 in-scope publications, 13 covering the use of 3D PDF for medical purposes. Only one article described a clinical routine use case; all others were pure research articles. The disciplines that were covered beside medicine were many. In most cases, either animal or human anatomies were visualized. A method, protocol, software, library, or other tool for the creation of 3D PDFs or model files was described in 19 articles. Most of these tools required advanced programming skills and/or the installation of further software packages. Only one software application presented an all-in-one solution with a graphical user interface.ConclusionsThe use of 3D PDF for visualization purposes in clinical communication and in biomedical publications is still not in common use, although both the necessary technique and suitable tools are available, and there are many arguments in favor of this technique. The potential of 3D PDF usage should be disseminated in the clinical and biomedical community. Furthermore, easy-to-use, standalone, and free-of-charge software tools for the creation of 3D PDFs should be developed.
