Neurosurgical Planning May Employ 3-D Printing Technology With CT Images

3D models, produced by combining a patient's CT scans and 3D printing technology are proving useful in neurosurgical planning. 3D printing technology is a fast and affordable way to build 3D models for neurosurgical planning. Radiologists are able to transform ultra high-resolution CT patient images into 3D solid models using a 3D color printer commonly used in architecture, engineering and construction. An advantage of 3-D models is that they identify defects that 2-D images do not, which helps radiologists view a clearer impression of the image...
