This book describes the fundamentals of three-dimensional (3D)
printing, addresses the practical aspects of establishing a 3D
printing service in a medical facility, and explains the enormous
potential value of rendering images as 3D printed models capable
of providing tactile feedback and tangible information on both
anatomic and pathologic states. Individual chapters also focus on
selected areas of applications for 3D printing, including
musculoskeletal, craniomaxillofacial, cardiovascular, and
neurosurgery applications. Challenges and opportunities related
to training, materials and equipment, and guidelines are
addressed, and the overall costs of a 3D printing lab and the
balancing of these costs against clinical benefits are discussed.
Radiologists, surgeons, and other physicians will find this book
to be a rich source of information on the practicalities and
expanding medical applications of 3D printing.
