Removing extremely large tumors @mayoclinic from the pelvis, requires a coordinated team of vascular surgeons, orthopedic oncologist, & sometimes GYN surgeons. #3Dprinted models aid in multidisciplinary collaboration #cancer #bone #patientcare #ortho #surgery #innovation

@MayoClinic When comparing case planning using 3D printing versus a CT scan, do you find 3D printing to be complementary to CT-based planning, or does it significantly alter your surgical approach? Great demonstration 👍🏼

@MayoClinic the AMU is housed in the department of #radiology but is a 9,000 square-foot manufacturing facility providing this service to every surgical sub specialty . Across all the specialities the physical model changes approach about 10-15% of the time depending on complexity.

@MayoClinic Wow! That looks amazing. Nice work!

@MayoClinic CT Cinematic rendering with differential texture display may also help.

@MayoClinic Those are pretty pictures without any diagnostic accuracy. You cannot separate the parts, no radiologist approves the diagnostic accuracy of them, hounsfield unit based , and therefor of little clinical value. These are radiologist approved 3D diagnostically accurate models .
