Editor High resolution MRI is used to plan surgery for both benign pelvic floor dysfunction and rectal cancer. Whilst MRI is useful, interpretation of sequenced two-dimensional images can be challenging to comprehend. Threedimensional (3D) radiologically derived models may facilitate better understanding of anatomy and surgical planes. This letter describes the application of 3D modelling technology for rectal surgery. 3D virtual models were constructed in 30 patients having MRI scans to stage rectal cancer or having MRI proctogram. For rectal cancer patients, MRI T2-weighted images of the rectum and pelvis with 3 mm slices were
