Innovations in Anatomical Modeling: From Medical Imaging to 3D Printing- Sponsored by SOTS | REGISTER

OVERVIEW

This presentation will focus on the techniques and resources necessary for converting medical imaging into anatomically precise 3D printed models. We will provide an overview of the essential tools and software, highlighting the use of Slicer3D. The session will introduce the basics of manual segmentation and discuss advancements in automatic segmentation. Additionally, we'll explore online resources for accessing freely available medical imaging suitable for use as source material. We will look at current materials available for 3d printing, as well as the future material sciences in this medium. Finally, we'll look at how to export segmented models to formats compatible with standard 3D printers, and some general best practices to ensure the best print quality. 

OBJECTIVES

1. Provide an overview of the tools used for transforming medical imaging into 3d printable models. 
2. Demonstrate the techniques of manual and automatic segmentation necessary for detailed and accurate 3D modeling. 
3. Outline the preparation and exportation processes of anatomical models for 3D printing, ensuring their usability in medical practice and education.
