Soft tissue three-dimensional (3D) printing from magnetic resonance (MR) imaging data is feasible, but implementation is challenging and time consuming. We performed 3D segmentation of an abdominal MR dataset and created a high-fidelity, life-sized 3D model of a kidney and in-situ renal tumor for pre-operative surgical planning. The 3D model provided additional information to the attending surgeon that influenced surgical planning and allowed real-time changes to be applied during the operative procedure.
