3d Biomodels

In the near future, the possibility of exporting diagnostic images obtained with computed tomography (CT-Computed Tomography), magnetic resonance imaging or other equipment to 3D printed and obtaining models of replicas of tumors or human pathologies has been identified.

It will respond to this new need seen by specialist doctors (radiologists, surgeons, etc.) and will optimise resources.

To do this, they will have to acquire new skills, such as the operation of 3D printer equipment, the printing procedure, the determination of the parameters of use, the use of appropriate software, the maintenance of this equipment and ensure the quality control of the 3D prints obtained.

With this change in profile, students would be better prepared to face the scientific-technological evolutions of the sector and, therefore, assimilate the skills that the Health sector will demand in the near future.

Specifically, in the 2022 academic year, 3D printing has been proposed to optimise the treatment of patients and facilitate diagnosis or interpretation.

Therefore, for the traumatology/cardiology services of the Clínica de la Asunción, we have prepared and developed different 3D biomodels, especially to facilitate the interpretation of patients.
