“…8 The structures with dense soft tissue or completely closed structures, such as the cochlea, semicircular canals, facial nerve, sigmoid sinus-jugular bulb, and carotid canal, cannot be fully reproduced using 3D models. 5,6 To solve this problem, these structures were presented by designing 3D data that depict them as easily identifiable colored structures prior to printing ( Figure 1B). Although the tactile sensation of soft tissues could not be reproduced, these were visible in their correct anatomical locations as colored structures.…”

“…This technology enables physician learners to practice these skills while lessening the danger to patients through the use of complex high fidelity models 29 . For example, multiple centers have reported data on 3D-printed temporal bones in the education of their trainees [29][30][31] . During implementation, participants were asked to qualitatively evaluate these training exercises in terms of realism, anatomical accuracy, utility, and efficacy.…”

Objective: Three-dimensional printing technology is being employed in a variety of medical and surgical specialties to improve patient care and advance resident physician training. As the costs of implementing three-dimensional printing have declined, the use of this technology has expanded, especially within surgical specialties. This article explores the types of threedimensional printing available, highlights the benefits and drawbacks of each methodology, provides examples of how three-dimensional printing has been applied within the field of otolaryngology -head and neck surgery, discusses future innovations, and explores the financial impact of these advances.Data Sources: Articles were identified from PubMed and Ovid Medline.Review Methods: PubMed and Ovid Medline were queried for English articles published between 2011and 2016, including a few articles prior to this time as relevant examples. Search terms included: three-dimensional printing, 3D-printing, otolaryngology, additive manufacturing, craniofacial, reconstruction, temporal bone, airway, sinus, cost, and anatomic models.Conclusions: Three-dimensional printing has been used in recent years in otolaryngology for preoperative planning, education, prostheses, grafting, and reconstruction. Emerging technologies include the printing of tissue scaffolds for the auricle and nose, more realistic training models, and personalized implantable medical devices. Implications for Practice:After accounting for the upfront costs of three-dimensional printing, its utilization in surgical models, patient-specific implants, and custom instruments can reduce operating room time and thus decrease costs. Educational and training models provide an opportunity to better visualize anomalies, practice surgical technique, predict problems that might arise, and improve quality by reducing mistakes.3

“…Several of the aforementioned studies examine and conclude generally positive findings: medical models of various types are useful in pre-operative planning of complicated surgery, which reduces operation time. Other conclusions included the fact that medical modelling increases and enhances student understanding in training and patient understanding in consultation [65,[75][76][77]79,81,83], and it can be concluded from these studies that medical models have proven increasingly useful over time for a variety of medical applications. From the studies examined in this paper, it is clear that the development in medical modelling is most notably in the area of materials and processes that allow the production of multi-colour models.…”

Abstract. The use of X-ray computed tomography (XCT) with additive manufacture (AM) within a medical context is examined in this review. The seven AM process families and various XCT scanning techniques are explained in brief, and the use of these technologies together is detailed over time. The transition of these technologies from a simple method of medical modelling to a robust method of customised implant manufacture is described, and the state-of-the-art for XCT and AM is examined in detail. XCT and AM are identified as having the potential to improve gold standards in both modelling and implant production, and in the conclusions of this review, primary barriers to the increased adoption of AM and XCT technologies are identified in reference to the main applications of XCT and AM technologies. The primary prohibitive factors generally relate to the cost of production across all of the examined applications, as well as the need for further clinical trials in surgical guidance and applications involving implantation.
