1. A system for reconstructing an anatomical impression, the system comprising: a light signal generating device for generating a light signal directed toward a synthetic test body defining the anatomical impression, such that the light signal is attenuated upon passing through the synthetic test body resulting in an attenuated light signal; a sensor for capturing the attenuated light signal through the synthetic test body and converting a captured attenuated light signal into digitized image information; and a digital reconstruction device for reconstructing the digitized image information based on measurement of light attenuation to generate a three-dimensional volume of the anatomical impression.
