Representative case study 2. A 36-year-old woman with comminuted fracture of tibial plateau and fibula underwent two scans (at the first visit and 8 days later). The standard-dose (a) and ultra-low-dose (b) protocols were used to generate three-dimensional printing models from 3D CT data. The direction of the image quality (white arrows) and locations of the fragments (yellow arrows) are identifiable with both scans, meeting the needs of clinical diagnosis and treatment. The 3DP score was 3 points. The surface of the bone models is regular and flat, which is suitable for preoperative evaluation
