Amazing work.

An unusual approach: employment of CT scanning to digitalize a lymphatic vessel 3D wax model based on the serial TEM photographs of tumor-associated absorbing lymphatic vessels.

Patients w/ #congenital #heart #disease #CHD live long normal lives but can have 2-3 surgeries into adulthood. Your #surgeon may not be original surgeon . #3Dprinting patient #anatomy & anastamosis aid in surgical planning. #MedTwitter #MedTech @MayoSurgEd @MayoPedsSurgery

Great use of the lattice

Preparing to do procedures on #pediatric airways can be complex with rare conditions & novel treatments. @MayoClinicENT & @JoshWiedermann are working to improve patient outcomes with life size #3Dprinted airways @NewPro3D #ent #MedTwitter #MEDTECH #Children #Patient #parent

Great performance of our surgical technical medicine students @UTwente @NVvTG @ETZnl @ZimNl @patrickvriens @Til_Surg @HoloLens @JayMorris_MD

Relevant models used surgically require a lot of work after the #3Dprinting. We use clear & color in bone tumors to show intraosseous extension so surgeons can get a margin & preserve as much normal bone as possible. Need=Lye baths, fume hoods, water blasting, & staff to do this

[Jay Morris @JayMorris_MD]

So much happening @MayoRadiology #3Dprinting that's not #COVID19. As we open back up the backlog of cases is high. Ex...Revision postop elbow surgery has significant risk. Planning with #orthopedic Dr. Mark Morrey & #3Dprinting allows new procedures to improve functional outcomes

Multi material #medical #simulation training models can be more cost effective and realistic than just #3Dprinting alone. Utilizing @SmoothOn silicone for molding lungs and heart & #3Dprinting from chest cavity & cartilage from anonymized #CTscans @MayoInnovation @MayoMedEd

Repairing post traumatic #orbit floor #fractures by @sharaf_basel may need custom plates. #3Dprinting using #mirror image contralateral #normal to prebend plates prevents abnl #cosmetic appearance #enopthalmos or worse #dioloplia @MayoClinic @MayoRadiology #plasticsurgery #hope

You can now draw curves on surface of meshes in 3D Slicer - measure distance along ridges, cut out surfaces, define sulcal lines by a few clicks https://t.co/aIhgTjpQDu

AR technology implemented on 3D printing, based on work published by Hospital Gregorio Maranon researchers. All in a simple smartphone App. Fantastic!

Multifilament material extrusion #3Dprinting like @Prusa3D allows you make low cost flexible #ligaments and hard #bone structures. Like this elbow simulation model by @MorrisnjNoah that gets embedded in #ballisticgelatin (soon to be trending) #orthopedic #simulation #medtech

The use of #3Dprinting for #Forensic #Pathology is a lesser known use for showing victim specific anatomic data. If it is easier for a #surgeon to understand #anatomy imagine the benfits to a jury/law enforcement. @MayoRadiology models are used for sentencing & trials.
