The patient - diagnosed with a complex brain artery aneurysm - was scheduled for a left middle cerebral artery aneurysm clipping procedure at the bifurcation of M1 and M2, through left pterional craniotomy performed with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring.
Our lab has been using the Stratasys J750 Digital Anatomy technology to study and validate together with Stratasys new material solutions for the production of anatomical models for surgical simulation .
This is the story of Tamara, 34 years old, who wanted to have a baby and managed to make her dream come true despite a delicate heart surgery performed during pregnancy.

The Urology Department of Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo requested 3D4Med support for the production of two 3D printed models for surgicalplanning and anatomical comprehension. Both clinical cases regard patients referred to Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo for kidney cancer. Patients underwent a kidney tumors' enucleation procedure and the 3D printed models were used to better understand the tumors' positioning and degree of infiltration.
Foot or Paw?…A Forensic Investigation
This particular case includes the use of 3DPrinting to help determine if the "Foot" belongs to a human or an animal.

A 65-years old athlete referred to Fondazione IRCCS Policlinico San Matteo after cardiac arrest, presenting with a rare right coronary anomaly (right coronary artery ostium atresia) and no other causes of sudden cardiac death. A 3D Virtual model has been reconstructed from CT scan through image segmentation techniques. In CT imaging, the use of contrast medium highlights the blood flowing inside vessels, while their wall remains mostly invisible...
