Comparative analysis of current 3D printed acetabular titanium implants Tập 5 Số 1 - 2019
Lorenzo Dall’Ava, Harry Hothi, Johann Henckel, Anna Di Laura, Paul R. Shearing, Alister Hart
Abstract Background The design freedom allowed by three-dimensional (3D)
printing enables the production of acetabular off-the-shelf cups with complex
porous structures. The only studies on these designs are limited to clinical
outcomes. Our aim was to analyse and compare the designs of different 3D printed
cups from multiple manufacturers (Delta TT, Trident II Tritanium and Mpact 3D
Metal). Metho... hiện toàn bộ
3D models improve understanding of congenital heart disease - 2021
Jonathan Awori, Seth D. Friedman, Titus Chan, Christopher Howard, Steve Seslar, Brian D. Soriano, Sujatha Buddhe
AbstractIntroductionUnderstanding congenital heart disease (CHD) is vital for
medical personnel and parents of affected children. While traditional 2D
schematics serve as the typical approach used, several studies have shown these
models to be limiting in understanding complex structures. Recent world-emphasis
has shifted to 3D printed models as a complement to 2D imaging to bridge
knowledge and c... hiện toàn bộ
A design process for a 3D printed patient-specific applicator for HDR brachytherapy of the orbit Tập 6 Số 1 - 2020
Ergys Subashi, Corbin Jacobs, Rodney Hood, David G. Kirsch, Oana Craciunescu
Abstract Background This report describes a process for designing a 3D printed
patient-specific applicator for HDR brachytherapy of the orbit. Case
presentation A 34-year-old man with recurrent melanoma of the orbit was referred
for consideration of re-irradiation. An applicator for HDR brachytherapy was
designed based on the computed tomography (CT) of patient anatomy. The body
contour was used t... hiện toàn bộ
3D-printing a cost-effective model for mastoidectomy training Tập 9 Số 1
Andreas Frithioff, Kenneth Weiss, Martin Frendø, Pascal Senn, Peter Trier Mikkelsen, Daniel Sieber, Mads Sølvsten Sørensen, David Bue Pedersen, Steven Arild Wuyts Andersen
Abstract Background 3D-printed temporal bone models can potentially provide a
cost-effective alternative to cadaver surgery that can be manufactured locally
at the training department. The objective of this study was to create a
cost-effective 3D-printed model suitable for mastoidectomy training using entry
level and commercially available print technologies, enabling individuals,
without prior ex... hiện toàn bộ
3D printed model for triple negative inflammatory breast cancer
Yu-Hui Huang, Todd M Tuttle, Noelle Hoven
Abstract Background Access to imaging reports and review of the breast imaging
directly with a patient with breast cancer helps improve the understanding of
disease extent and severity. A 3D printed breast model can further enhance a
patient’s understanding and communication with the healthcare team resulting in
improved patient comprehension and patient input with reduced treatment decision

Innovative design of 3D-printed nasopharyngeal pediatric swab for COVID-19 detection - 2021
Ameerah Alazemi, Ghadeer AbdulHussain, Abdullah Alawwam, Ali Al-Shatti, Mohammad Alghounaim, Sulaiman Almazeedi, Sarah Al Youha, Salman Al-Sabah
Abstract3-dimensional (3D) printing technology provides a solution to meet the
high demand for producing adult nasal swabs. A smaller, more flexible
nasopharyngeal swab needs to be developed for children and infants suspected of
having coronavirus. The information shared here presents a novel 3D-printed
pediatric swab for the purpose of collecting upper respiratory clinical
specimens.
Development and evaluation of a facile mesh-to-surface tool for customised wheelchair cushions Tập 9 Số 1
Susan Nace, John Tiernan, Aisling Ní Annaidh, Dónal Holland
Abstract Background Custom orthoses are becoming more commonly prescribed for
upper and lower limbs. They require some form of shape-capture of the body parts
they will be in contact with, which generates an STL file that designers prepare
for manufacturing. For larger devices such as custom-contoured wheelchair
cushions, the STL created during shape-capture can contain hundreds of thousands
of te... hiện toàn bộ
