Innovative Uses of 3D Printing in Medicine
Explore the groundbreaking applications of 3D printing in the medical field, from creating custom implants and prosthetics to precise surgical planning and educational models. Dr. Thomas Boland's pioneering work in organ printing and the current process of 3D printing using CT or MRI scans are highlighted. Discover how this technology revolutionizes medical training, patient care, and surgical interventions.

Additive manufacturing Biotexture modelling
Thomas Boland Chief Science Officer and co- founder of TeVido BioDevices in association with Clemson University, Dr. Boland s work has been cited more than 800 times. He has received numerous awards. He was the first to retrofit a standard inkjet printer and use cells as ink. By printing layer by layer he could achieve 3D printing of organs by 2003
How is 3D printing done now? Series of successive slices of CT scan or MRI are made These are converted into layers of plastic, ceramic, glass or even tissue They are constructed into graspable 3D digital models
Potential uses of 3D Models in Medicine Exact simulation and better understanding of structural pathology & anatomy Appreciation of tissue planes for dissection Demonstration & Teaching
Potential uses Models of fetus in utero to assess anomalies Depiction of fascial planes for dissection & repair (eg. Perineal repair) Depiction of injuries (eg. Ureteric injury) Precise models of lesions, tumors etc Pre operative surgical planning Education of patients ) hematomas & tumours

Paramedics on Facebook shared Medical Addicts(Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology)'s photoLooks completely realistic, doesn't it? This is actually a SYNTHETIC human cadaver created by SynDaver Labs. It's designed to help medical students and professionals when there's a shortage of donated human bodies. Life-like replicas of complete cadavers made through 3D printing help in anatomy dissection

3D Model of vasculature in Conjoined Twins
The Mata Twins at birth Knatalye Hope and Adeline Faith
Many internal organs were shared (chest wall, lungs, pericardial sac, diaphragm, liver, intestines, colon and pelvis). Using 3D printing the twin organs were printed showing all the parts in detail which helped in separation of twins. combination of volumetric CT, 3-D modeling, and 3-D printing will become a standard part of preparation for surgical separation of conjoined twins in future -Dr Darrel Cass, Texas Childrens Hospital

Even if you happen to lose your face See what 3D printing can do!
Tokyo researchers have successfully taken goat fetuses and put them in synthetic wombs for continued gestation! The fetuses have stayed in the environment for up to three weeks, but Yoshinori Kuwabara, chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Juntendo University in Tokyo, has said that this can be extended or applied to human beings! Ectogenesis was a term created by British scientist J. B. S. Haldane in 1924. #science #biology Ectogenesis Japanese researchers have grown a goat embryo inside a 3D printed uterus
