A comparision of 3D printed anatomical models against tissue equivalent models under x-ray conditions (360G-Wellcome-211786_Z_18_Z)

£0

This project involves designing and production of human anatomical models by Fused Deposition Modelling which is a form of 3D printing.This technology has existed since the 1970's and in the past five years has become much more affordable allowing researchers to explore its usefulness in medical education and in patient-specific surgical planning. Once the 3D printed model is made, it will be imaged under X-ray at the diagnostic imaging department, in order to assess image quality and the human-tissue equivalency of the printed materials. Key goals include; - modelling & slicing of anatomical 3D meshes - production & optimisation of a 3D printed model - X-Ray imaging of this model - Utilisation of ImageJ software to assess the tissue equivalency of this model vs. human images & pre-existing tissue equivalent phantoms - presentation of findings at the UCD SSRA research event. This model will be anatomically correct, customisable and contain a range of tissue equivalent materials that can be X-rayed. The model will be useful in anatomy education as it will provide tutors with a customisable learning aid and accompnaying diagnostic images. Together, these will serve to enrich the learning experience for students.
