Résumé : |
When surgeons operate on the aorta, they generally rely on computer tomographic images. For the first time, a team at the Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, Germany, has applied the 3D printing process to visualize and diagnose complex conditions more quickly. Transparent 3D models support a better understanding of diseases and also serve to train future vascular surgeons. |
