Stratasys and Siemens Healthineers are highlighting the results of collaborative research regarding the use of anatomically accurate 3D-printed imaging phantoms.
According to a statement from the companies, the collaboration combined Stratasys’ RadioMatrix radiopaque 3D print material and digital anatomy technology with Siemens Healthineers’ advanced algorithms to refine the quality of complex-anatomy medical imaging phantoms, accurately replicating patient-specific anatomy and pathologies with realistic radiopacity.
A presentation delivered at the recent RSNA meeting showed that the 3D-printed phantoms, which are designed to replace cadavers, are scalable, cost-effective, and efficient in developing new CT scan algorithms and improving diagnostic precision, according to Stratasys and Siemens. The lecture also highlighted the level of accuracy of the 3D-printed models, with the results showing deviations between real human anatomy and printed models as low as single Hounsfield units in key areas such as grey matter and veins.
