Additively manufactured medical products – the FDA perspective

Matthew Di Prima, James Coburn, David Hwang et al. · 18 May 2016

Additive manufacturing/3D printing of medical devices is becoming more commonplace, a 3D printed drug is now commercially available, and bioprinting is poised to transition from laboratory to market. Despite the variety of technologies enabling these products, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is charged with protecting and promoting the public health by ensuring these…

Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) 3D printing Special Interest Group (SIG): guidelines for medical 3D printing and appropriateness for clinical scenarios

RSNA Special Interest Group for 3D Printing, Leonid Chepelev, Nicole Wake et al. · 21 Nov 2018

Medical three-dimensional (3D) printing has expanded dramatically over the past three decades with growth in both facility adoption and the variety of medical applications. Consideration for each step required to create accurate 3D printed models from medical imaging data impacts patient care and management. In this paper, a writing group representing the Radiological Society of…

Application of 3D–printed and patient-specific cast for the treatment of distal radius fractures: initial experience

Yan-Jun Chen, Hui Lin, Xiaodong Zhang et al. · 1 Mar 2017

BACKGROUND: Distal radius fracture is common in the general population. Fracture management includes a plaster cast, splint and synthetic material cast to immobilise the injured arm. Casting complications are common in those conventional casting technologies. 3D printing technology is a rapidly increasing application in rehabilitation. However, there is no clinical study investigating the application of…

Patient-specific 3D printed and augmented reality kidney and prostate cancer models: impact on patient education

Nicole Wake, Andrew B. Rosenkrantz, Richard Huang et al. · 19 Feb 2019

BACKGROUND: Patient-specific 3D models are being used increasingly in medicine for many applications including surgical planning, procedure rehearsal, trainee education, and patient education. To date, experiences on the use of 3D models to facilitate patient understanding of their disease and surgical plan are limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate in the context…
