Plain language
Free software that turns medical scans into three-dimensional models of the body.
As stated in the literature
An open-source tool for reconstructing 3D images from CT and MRI scan data; cited as an example of long-tail professional software in computer-use agent benchmarks.
Why it matters: It exemplifies the specialized medical software agents must handle to be useful in real clinical and technical settings.
For example, a surgeon might use Invesalius to turn a stack of CT slices into a 3D model of a patient's skull before an operation.
