OVERVIEW: Highly detailed radiographic imaging sets are transformed into useful life-sized anatomic models (AMs) using additive manufacturing (3D printing). USE: AMs provide preoperative information and accurate perspective of critical anatomic relationships by segmentation of imaging data. COLLABORATION: Care is optimized when radiologists team with surgeons preoperatively to plan construction of AMs to illuminate anatomic points of interest.     

1. Our Experience: 108 AMs a. Clinical: MSK (41), Cardiovascular (20), Neuro (33), Abdominal (6) b. Education (3) c. Quality: Phantom Development (2) d. Validation (3) 2. Mechanism a. Segmentation process outlines and separates critical anatomy i. Choose best data for segmentation and to display needed anatomy i. Thinner section offers higher detail ii. Phases of contrast enhancement iii. Different phases or studies can be combined b. Variables in printing process i. Type and color of material ii. Printing time varies 3. Consultation: In-depth discussion with surgeon to understand unique needs of individual patient and anatomic relationships important for surgical procedure. Radiologist tailors AM construction to these needs. Surgical colleagues report Improvement in safety, efficiency and outcome of complex surgical procedures.
