The major teaching points of this exhibit are To understand how segmentation for 3D liver model printing is performed. To understand how internal structures of liver are reconstructed in 3D printed liver models To understand how 3D printed liver models are utilized for diagnostic and surgical assistance for liver surgery

This exhibits consists of three parts Explanation of the process of 3D printed organ model creation and clinical use How to segment liver regions and internal vasculatures How to perform post-process of segmented regions for 3D printing How to fabricate of liver models How to utilize 3D printed liver modes for communication in diagnostic process How to utilize 3D printed liver models as reference object during surgery Demonstration of 3D printed liver models and its utilization Liver region segmentation software for 3D printing Movie display of 3D printing and post-processing process On-side display of 3D printed liver modes Movie display of real clinical use Summary Segmentation process is very important for fabricating 3D-printed liver model 3D printed liver models are very intuitive for understanding liver anatomy 3D printed liver models assist doctors to make diagnostic and surgical decision
