Custom-made three-dimensional-printed adapter for smartphone slit-lamp photography

Slit-lamp photography made easy by a spot metering system.

The use of a standard 35 mm camera with a spot metering system to take slit-lamp photographs is described. This system is mounted on a standard Haag-Streit slit-lamp and can be used with good results even by inexperienced operators.

An inexpensive method of slit-lamp photography.

Skull Reconstruction with Custom Made Three-Dimensional Titanium Implant

BACKGROUND Source material used to fill calvarial defects includes autologous bones and synthetic alternatives. While autologous bone is preferable to synthetic material, autologous reconstruction is not always feasible due to defect size, unacceptable donor-site morbidity, and other issues. Today, advanced three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques allow for fabrication of titanium implants cu...

Tridimensional titanium-printed custom-made prosthesis for sternocostal reconstruction.

A broad range of materials have been described for sternal reconstruction in order to guarantee not only the best preservation of respiratory mechanics, but also adequate mediastinal protection and acceptable cosmetic results. Today, titanium implants are preferred by many surgeons because of their optimal features. As a step forward, tridimensional (3D) laser sintering printing techniques allo...

Television slit-lamp biomicroscopy.

The basic requirements for performing television slit-lamp biomicroscopy are outlined, and the methods of demonstrating particular features of ocular anatomy and ocular disease are discussed. The technique has a particular role in teaching in the clinical setting.
