Yes, it is possible you would need to segment the CT image and then just show the 3D model.

The screenshots above show a volume rendering of bones and implant from CT images, which don’t even need segmentation. So, all you need to do to achieve what is shown in the image is to go to `Data` module and drag-and-drop the CT image into a 3D view. You can further edit visualization settings in `Volume Rendering` module.
