A new X-ray imaging technique could transform how hospitals analyse tissue samples, potentially speeding up diagnoses and improving outcomes for patients, a new study shows.
A new type of 3D imaging reveals how amyloid β (Aβ) deposits spread along blood vessels in the human brain. This could lead to targeted therapies for Alzheimer's disease and CAA.
Researchers have developed 3D volume rendering methods for cardiac MRI that display complex structures within the heart and show blood flow. This can guide treatment decisions in pediatric patients.
At the RSNA 2025 annual meeting, Royal Philips has announced the expanded commercial availability of their LumiGuide 3D Device Guidance system for light-based navigation.
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique for blood vessels on glass. This could be a tool for studying stroke causes and testing patient-specific medications without animal testing.
A new solution enables doctors to show 3D images of a patient's anatomy during consultations. The technology is designed to help patients understand their conditions and make informed choices.
Researchers have developed a novel 3D-printable material that is both biocompatible and highly elastic. The technology could pave the way for artificial organs and improved drug delivery systems.
To tackle the shortage of donor organs, researchers have developed a 3D printer that doesn’t just print implantable tissues, it also sees and even co-designs parts of organs.
Historically, implants to repair bone fractures have been made of metal, donor bone, or 3D-printed material. Now, scientists propose an in-situ printing approach - using a modified glue gun.
A novel procedure at UC San Diego Health uses a combination of artificial intelligence and 3D printing to develop a customized implant for the spine during fusion surgery.
Dysphagia can significantly reduce a person's quality of life. Now, research teams have developed a new 3D bioprinting method to create safe and appealing meals for dysphagia diets.
A novel approach to bioprinting may lead to new ways to treat skin burns and severe wounds. With this, the researchers aim to create new skin that does not become scar tissue but a functioning dermis.
By analyzing CT images with 3D software, researchers demonstrated that small liver tumors can be successfully treated using ablation. This could enable more confident use of ablation treatments.
Using 48 cameras simultaneously to provide better insights during live surgery: A new kind of surgical microscope is designed to meet the need for better 3D imaging.
Using a keyhole surgery approach, surgeons have found a new way to access previously difficult-to-reach brain regions with faster recovery times. With the help of 3D modelling technology, the neurosurgeons succeeded in removing complex tumours from the cavernous sinus through the eye socket, avoiding complex brain surgery and enabling their patients to make a quicker recovery.
From personalized medical guides and implants to advanced surgical planning solutions: 3D printing and visualization has seen considerable growth over the past years and is already making a significant impact in healthcare. AI, cloud, and virtual/augmented reality technologies show promise to further advance the number of applications.
Researchers used state-of-the-art 3D bioprinting to replicate the complex structure and environment of spinal discs. Their insights hold promise for understanding back pain and disc degeneration.
A team of scientists has developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.
Unprecedented insights into the inner workings of an early-stage lung tumor: An international research team describes a new method for 3D mapping cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
