A system and method for creating a 3-D replica of a portion of a body structure is disclosed. The 3-D replica can have the exact size and shape of the region of interest (ROI). The system contains hardware and software that allows for the collection of 2-D scan images of the ROI, the refinement and conversion of the 2-D images into 3-D images, and the calculation of the 3-D images into a condition that is optimal for 3-D printing. The system and method also provides for the creation of a movie of the 3-D images that can be stored in a database for future access and/or distribution.
