Collaborating Across the Country: 3D-Printing in Cardiothoracic Surgery

Normal aorta being segmented with ITK-SNAP.

We’re excited to share a new collaborative publication in Cureus: Three-Dimensional Printing in Cardiothoracic Surgery: Workflow and Clinical Applications.

This paper by Dr Charles Jenkinson in Perth and supported by our team, outlines a streamlined workflow for implementing 3D printing in cardiothoracic surgery. It highlights practical clinical applications from aortic pathology to congenital heart disease, where patient-specific models can enhance surgical planning, simulation, and team communication.
