Three-Dimensional Printing Model of Anomalous Bronchi before Surgery

Three-dimensional Printing Technology in Surgery

Three dimensional printing, additive manufacturing or stereolithography as it was first described has recently come into vogue within the scientific community. Initially conceived in the 1980s by Charles Hull, it represents the successive addition of layers of various materials to form high definition three dimensional structures using Cartesian co-ordinates from 3D computer aided design (CAD) ...

Three-Dimensional Printing in Orthopedic Surgery.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is emerging as a clinically promising technology for rapid prototyping of surgically implantable products. With this commercially available technology, computed tomography or magnetic resonance images can be used to create graspable objects from 3D reconstructed images. Models can enhance patients' understanding of their pathology and surgeon preoperative plannin...

In-lab three-dimensional printing

The development of the microscope in 1590 by Zacharias Janssenby and Hans Lippershey gave the world a new way of visualizing details of morphogenesis and development. More recent improvements in this technology including confocal microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical projection tomography (OPT) have enhanced the quality of the resultant image. These technologies also allow ...
