Description
Thomas Stirrat and co-authors review how 3D printing is changing brain and spine imaging care. Printed models built from a patient's own scans let surgeons rehearse hard cases before they cut. Their 2024 review covers planning, teaching, and custom devices made for one person at a time.
Models help teams grasp odd anatomy, test steps, and train students with real shapes. Printed guides and implants can fit a single skull or spine defect well. Printing also opens ways to place drugs where they are needed. Cost, uneven methods, and quality checks remain as hurdles. The authors see print tools, paired with smart software, widening this kind of tailored care.
