Год выпуска: 2017 Автор: Frank J. Rybicki, Gerald T. Grant Жанр: 3D Printing in Medicine Формат: PDF, EPUB Качество: OCR Описание: 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. Inpidual 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.

Год выпуска: 2019 Автор: Edited by Michel R. Labrosse Жанр: Кардиология Формат: PDF Качество: OCR Описание: Decisions in cardiovascular surgery can be life-and-death decisions and often need to be made fast. This is the realm of evidence-based decision-making algorithms that are updated as practices evolve and new techniques are adopted. These algorithms originate from guidelines and recommendations elaborated after statistical treatment of data collected on whole cohorts of patients. While the decision to put knife to skin may be eminently binary, there are usually multiple ways to do so, and the amount of training of the surgeon and supporting team will heavily influence the patient outcome.
