MIT researchers print the heart into a 3D model for better surgery

A major challenge for surgeons is to know what the corresponding part of the patient looks like before surgery. The general surgeon will use a number of methods to achieve this goal, such as MRI MRI, X-ray, etc., the internal conditions can be seen before moving the knife. Researchers at MIT (MIT) and Boston Children's Hospital have developed a new way to help surgeons see children.

The system is able to capture data from MRI scans and use it to perform 3D printing of the child's heart. The entire process takes several hours, and after 3D printing is complete, the surgeon can use the 3D model to schedule the surgery.


This fall, seven cardiac surgeons at Boston Children's Hospital will participate in the study to confirm whether the 3D printed heart can help the surgery. In October, the system will be explained in detail at the International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention.

In order to make the 3D model more accurate, the researchers also found experts to identify a small part of the scan, and then the algorithm to identify the rest. The team said that the model was divided into 14 parts, and the system algorithm reached 90% agreement with the expert.
