Pediatric 3D printing unit opens
Print Edition
CHINA’S first pediatric 3D digital medical research unit opened yesterday at the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center.
Doctors can use 3D printed replicas of young patients’ organs and tissue to help diagnose conditions and draw up treatment plans, said officials.
The 3D printed parts, based on scans of the patient, will also prove valuable in medical classes, they added.
“For example, when we are working out treatment for a child with congenital heart disease we can create a 3D dissection model of the patient which provides a clear view of the situation and promotes further analysis,” said research center director Liu Jinfen.
Officials said 3D models were also cheaper to make and store than traditional scans.
The 3D technology supporting the center is provided by Materialise, a Belgian provider of 3D printing software and services in a variety of industries.
