“…DTI planning and 3D-printed models were used with the neurosurgical navigation system [12] to prepare the surgical operation where the tumor was removed from the frontal lobe. The operation was successful, and advanced planning provided with DTI planning and 3D models allowed the neurosurgeons to be better prepared during surgery.…”

“…Three-dimensional models and navigation systems for neurosurgery can be combined to improve surgical planning and surgeon training [12, 32]. The work reported herein demonstrates that preoperative planning using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography and 3D models is feasible and can be employed in the preparation of complex operations.…”

“…Since its introduction, this service has allowed physicians and surgeons from different specialities to submit requests for a host of 3D models to be made available within 24 hours of submission. This process was simultaneously employed in research activities to study both the anthropometry of human muscles [11] and the use of rapid prototyping as preparation for complex brain surgeries in combination with neurosurgical navigation systems [12]. Since then, the National University Hospital of Iceland has fabricated over 200 surgical models for patient cases in the fields of cardiac, orthopedic, and neurosurgery (Figure 1(a)).…”

This paper illustrates the feasibility and utility of combining cranial anatomy and brain function on the same 3D-printed model, as evidenced by a neurosurgical planning case study of a 29-year-old female patient with a low-grade frontal-lobe glioma. We herein report the rapid prototyping methodology utilized in conjunction with surgical navigation to prepare and plan a complex neurosurgery. The method introduced here combines CT and MRI images with DTI tractography, while using various image segmentation protocols to 3D model the skull base, tumor, and five eloquent fiber tracts. This 3D model is rapid-prototyped and coregistered with patient images and a reported surgical navigation system, establishing a clear link between the printed model and surgical navigation. This methodology highlights the potential for advanced neurosurgical preparation, which can begin before the patient enters the operation theatre. Moreover, the work presented here demonstrates the workflow developed at the National University Hospital of Iceland, Landspitali, focusing on the processes of anatomy segmentation, fiber tract extrapolation, MRI/CT registration, and 3D printing. Furthermore, we present a qualitative and quantitative assessment for fiber tract generation in a case study where these processes are applied in the preparation of brain tumor resection surgery.

“…developing more thorough clinical guidelines to aid surgical planning and assessment, in 2007 at National University Hospital of Iceland Landspitali an in-house service for 3DM and RP have been established allowing physicians and surgeons from different specialities to submit requests for RP models and receive it within 24 hours. This process was also employed in research activities to study anthropometry of human muscle [11] and in preparation for complex brain surgery in combination with neurosurgical navigation systems [12]. This paper describes the work process, the organization and the benefits of establishing a Hospital RP service with special focus on maxillofacial applications.…”

Today 3DM and RP techniques are widely employed to support planning in different types of surgery especially involving mandible malformation or defects such as bilateral sagittal split osteotomies [5] or chin repositioning by pre-bending titanium plates on the printed model [6]. RP models have also been used to support customisation of distractor fixation plates in complex craniofacial malformations [7], in mandibular resection for the design of the reconstructive plate [8] and in mandibular reconstruction using bone plates and bone grafts [9].Furthermore, 3DM and RP techniques are often used to for repairing orbital floor fractures using pre-shaped titanium mesh implants based on 3D models of unaffected orbit which are mirrored onto the injured orbit [10].However, most literature concerning use of 3DM and RP to support medicine and surgery is comprised of reports of single case studies that describe a given technology or application [4]. There are not yet in literature any report or published paper which describes an integrated service based on RP and 3DM processes with the goal of supporting clinical applications With the aim of improving our healthcare, reducing future costs and
