This is the lung lesion about 5 days after the infection was diagnosed. After the 3D reconstruction of the CT image to obtain model data, it was 3D printed using a full-color 3D printer. The model was sent to the hospital for research by experts in the field of breathing, which facilitated the interpretation and analysis for doctors.[/su_photo_panel]
