March 2019: 3D Printing Fiber Tracts in Brain

, ,
A fiber tract is a collection of nerves in the brain that transmits information. Diffusion Tractography Imaging (DTI) is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) method that can be used to image these fiber tracts and their relationship…

3D Print of Cervical Spine Fracture

, ,
Neurosurgery requested a 3D print of a patient's cervical spine fracture to better visualize the orientation of the fracture and involvement of surrounding vessels. Below is a volume-rendered (3D) image of the area to be printed with the fracture…

,
3D Printed Brain & Electrodes   This print was created at the request of a Stanford Neuro clinician, and is to be used as a teaching display. The model is divided into three main parts: the skull half, the brain half, and the wedge…

December 2016 – 3D Printed Aorta for TAVR

, ,
This 3D printed model (Figure A) was created using a Computed Tomography (CT) scan of an 89-year-old patient with a history of severe aortic stenosis, now being scanned for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) evaluation. Figure…
