Application and limitations of facial computed tomography and three-dimensional scanner images for patient-specific three-dimensional printing of a nose mask
Abstract:Background:The applications of three-dimensional (3D) printing are expanding in personalized medicine. The image data used for 3D printing modeling include 3D scanners and medical image data such as computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging data.Objective: To compare 3D scanner images with CT 3D images for fabricating a patient-specific nasal pillow positive airway pressure (PAP) mask using 3D printing technology.Methods: Personalized PAP masks were designed using 3D printing based on image da… Show more
