Surgeons in Nova Scotia Use 3D Printed Heart Model to Rehearse Complex Procedures AM Software

by Medical

After the introduction by Ottawa Hospital of an integrated 3D printing facility Canadian health facilities continue to adopt 3D printing. In Halifax, Nova Scotia, a collaboration between pediatric cardiologist Dr. Robert Chen and cardiac radiologist Dr. Deborah Thompson has resulted in the first 3D printed heart model of congenital heart disease (CHD) from IWK radiology images. The model allows cardiac surgeons to rehearse surgical management of complex anatomy before entering the operating room.
