Currently, the only option for medical professionals to learn and practice transnasal endoscopy procedures is to use human subjects. These subjects come either in the form of volunteers or actual patients. These procedures can result in a high level of discomfort and sometimes pain for the subject when performed by inexperienced medical professionals. The goal of this project is to construct a realistic model of the nasal passages and larynx for practicing transnasal endoscopy in a safe manner.

The following are samples of images taken from the MIMICS model:
