“…First of all, a group of 3D models reflecting anatomical geometry of CVS or RS can be identified. Recently, physical 3D models, usually 3D-printed models, are the most frequently used to aid surgical and diagnostic procedures (e.g., [9][10][11]) or in medical education and staff training (e.g., [12]); however, some of them are used for research of a chosen phenomenon (e.g., [13]). Here, it should be mentioned a very interesting 3D model of lungs containing living cells, which were infected with real respiratory syncytial viruses [14].…”

Recently, ‘medicine in silico’ has been strongly encouraged due to ethical and legal limitations related to animal experiments and investigations conducted on patients. Computer models, particularly the very complex ones (virtual patients—VP), can be used in medical education and biomedical research as well as in clinical applications. Simpler patient-specific models may aid medical procedures. However, computer models are unfit for medical devices testing. Hybrid (i.e., numerical–physical) models do not have this disadvantage. In this review, the chosen approach to the cardiovascular system and/or respiratory system modeling was discussed with particular emphasis given to the hybrid cardiopulmonary simulator (the artificial patient), that was elaborated by the authors. The VP is useful in the education of forced spirometry, investigations of cardiopulmonary interactions (including gas exchange) and its influence on pulmonary resistance during artificial ventilation, and explanation of phenomena observed during thoracentesis. The artificial patient is useful, inter alia, in staff training and education, investigations of cardiorespiratory support and the testing of several medical devices, such as ventricular assist devices and a membrane-based artificial heart.

“…Jacob et al describe using a complex 3D model to contour the composite implant; however, this is not a point-of-care service and a delay in waiting for the model (up to 30 days) was described. 4 Smelt et al described a similar workflow to the one we described but with an additional step of creating a silicone model of the defect which is sterilized and the MMA implant is created. 5 This case illustrates one of the benefits of point-of-care manufacturing to improve operative efficiency and predictability of outcomes.…”

Reconstructing a chest wall defect with the aid of three-dimensional printed pleural contourIn Ewing sarcoma of a rib, Rao et al. advise that resection of the involved rib plus one adjacent rib on either side is necessary for margin control. 1 This has been shown to achieve excellent long-term survival in children and adolescents, 2 but presents reconstructive challenges. The goals of chest wall reconstruction are protection of the intrathoracic contents, optimization of respiratory mechanics, support for the shoulder and upper extremity and restoration of trunk contour. 3 Typically, a polypropylene mesh and methyl methacrylate (MMA) 'sandwich' is used for reconstruction.

The criteria for a voxel to be included in the segmentation may be defined as per its Hounsfield units within a specific range (Thresholding) or its connection to a selected point/voxel (Seed point) [20]. Alternatively, the voxels within a specific predefined geometric region can be included to be part of the model.…”

Introduction 3D printing has widespread applications in orthopaedics including creating biomodels, patient-specific instruments, implants, and developing bioprints. 3DGraphy or printing 3D models enable the surgeon to understand, plan, and simulate different procedures on it. Despite widespread applications in non-healthcare specialties, it has failed to gain traction in healthcare settings. This is perhaps due to perceived capital expenditure cost and the lack of knowledge and skill required to execute the process. Purpose This article is written with an aim to provide step-by-step instructions for setting up a cost-efficient 3D printing laboratory in an institution or standalone radiology centre. The article with the help of video modules will explain the key process of segmentation, especially the technique of edge detection and thresholding which are the heart of 3D printing. Conclusion This is likely to enable the practising orthopaedician and radiologist to set up a 3D printing unit in their departments or even standalone radiology centres at minimal startup costs. This will enable maximal utilisation of this technology that is likely to bring about a paradigm shift in planning, simulation, and execution of complex surgeries.
