3D-Bioprinting in Medicine-Introduction

Image
      We are in the midst of a technological revolution in customized patient care. Advances in imaging techniques with digital 3D and 4D rendering and advances of 3D printing have allowed healthcare professionals the ability to view and document hard and soft tissues in such a manner that meaningful, accurate measurements can be used for fabrication of medical models for presurgical planning/patient education, fabrication of surgical templates, and medical/dental devices for implantation or quality of life. In addition, 3D print technologies in printing biological tissues will provide a future for many patients with the eventual printing of human organs.       The media continues to highlight the impact of 3D printing on patient care on local and national newscasts, and many have taken a social media approach to publicize the impact on this new, innovative way to deliver medical data.
