The computed tomography (CT) of chest was performed, so it was possible to generate the 3-dimensional model in MIMICS software. The segmentation was performed based on masks that are the binary representation of the structures with the same shade of grey in the Hounsfield grey-scale. Developed model consists: 22 bony ribs, 11 thoracic vertebrae, 10 intervertebral discs, 14 rib cartilages and sternum.
