“…The 3D printing has been applied in medicine since the early 2000s and according to the available scientific reports it accelerated in the 2010s [2]. Today, 3D printing is widespread in maxillofacial surgery, orthopedics, plastic and vascular surgery, neurosurgery, cardiovascular interventions, in radiation oncology and could also be implemented in the interventional radiology using CTA data [8].…”

Introduction. Images of computed tomography, computed tomography angiography, ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography are usually stored in Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine standard formats, which can be used later for processing and making three dimensional models and objects. The three dimensional printing has become increasingly popular in various fields of medicine. The purpose of this article was to present the workflow for three dimensional printing of medical models and to point out potential significance of three dimensional model printing in clinical practice and in training of medical students and residents. This type of approach may open new perspectives in communication and interaction between clinicians, radiologists and patients, in order to achieve better treatment results. Material and Methods. Images of an injured knee in digital imaging and communication in medicine format were used for creation of a three dimensional printed model. Digital imaging and communication in medicine files were without sensitive information on the patient using three dimensional Slicer software, then processed with embodi three dimensional cloud service, further prepared with MeshLab and printed on a Ultimaker 2 printer. Results and Discussion. A three dimensional model of an injured knee was printed and presented. The model was used for the evaluation of tibial fractures. It may be shown to the patient and also to the surgeon in order to be more specific about the treatment procedure. Application of three dimensional printing in medicine was discussed. Conclusion. Medical three dimensional printing is likely to play a more important role in the clinical practice, not only for surgical planning, but also in the education of students and residents in different medical branches. This three dimensional plastic model of an injured knee may serve as a good example of the potentials of the three dimensional printing technology in medicine.

“…However, because of the limited selection of materials that meet the requirements (e.g., hemocompatibility and durability) for long‐term blood‐contacting implantation, there have been very few demonstrations of personalized cardiac implants. Due to the complexity of cardiovascular anatomy, imaging technologies are commonly used for guidance of therapy and the fabrication of PS models for preprocedural planning …”

Advanced Manufacturing of Patient‐Specific Occluders for the Left Atrial Appendage with Minimally Invasive Delivery

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A novel method for the rapid prototyping of personalized inflatable left atrial appendage occluders, suitable for minimally invasive delivery, is demonstrated. The method allows for the design, fabrication, and quantitative testing of implants based on an individual's computed tomography (CT) scan. The performance of a left atrial appendage occluder by characterizing its ability to anchor, prevent leaks, and not obstruct the left atrium is reported on. The design of the occluder by varying features such as size, inflation fluids, and surface patterns is optimized. The implant, and its delivery via a minimally invasive catheter, is demonstrated in a 3D‐printed left atrial model. Herein, the way for leveraging advanced manufacturing and imaging technologies for the development of personalized intracardiac implants for transcatheter delivery is described.

This work aims at using two borane derivatives, namely Borane A: B(C6F5)3 and Borate B: C32H12BF24Na as additives for the cationic polymerization of epoxy silicones under visible light, in the presence of coumarins as photosensitizers and 4‐isopropyl‐4′‐methyldiphenyl iodonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate (SC939). The effect of boron compounds on the absorption and the emission spectra of a coumarin is particularly outlined. These two boron compounds can improve both the polymerization rate and the final monomer conversion. Moreover, the effect of adding water on the reactivity of the system is studied. It should be noted that the studied boron additives are able to enhance in an interesting way the polymerization rate when light irradiation is switched off through a dark polymerization (DP) mechanism. This latter behavior is highly desired for practical applications. Finally, the very high photoreactivity of boron compounds is employed for the development of new cationic 3D printing resins upon exposure to a light emitting diode (LED) projector at 405 nm, as well as for direct laser write experiments, by means of a laser diode at 405 nm. The 3D polymerization occurs through a cationic process which can be quite useful in order to reduce the shrinkage usually observed in radical polymerization.
