Image once, print thrice? Three-dimensional printing of replacement parts

Abstract: There is level IV evidence to support the use of 3D printing for education, pre-operative planning, simulation and implantation. In order to make this technology widely applicable, it will require automation of DICOM to standard tessellation language to implant. Advances in knowledge: Recent lapses in intellectual property and greater familiarity with rapid prototyping in medicine has set the stage for the next generation of custom implants, simulators and autografts. Radiologists may be able to help establish… Show more

“…Three-dimensional printing is time consuming and depends on expert manpower that is not yet adequately financed around the world. Radiologists should support the efforts to establish appropriate reimbursement, as the has ACR proved possible [27]. One important option is to participate in or to initiate RCT to further elucidate the benefits and efficacy of medical 3D printing in a great variety of possible applications.…”

“…3D models of CT or MRI are another medical innovation with potential for education and enhanced operative practice. 16 Mafeld et al created a 3D model of the aorta to simulate endovascular tasks. 17 The simulator was evaluated by 96 candidates who reported a largely favourable experience.…”

“…Centralised 3D printing within certain specialist hospital trusts where such techniques have been optimised may, therefore, be more appropriate, 37 and newer computing technologies that can automatically generate standard tessellation language files from imaging data may also minimise production time 38 and simplify the workflow.…”
