Stereolithography is a computer-mediated method that can be used to quickly create anatomically correct three-dimensional epoxy and acrylic resin models from various types of medical data. Multiple imaging modalities can be exploited, including computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The technology was first developed and used in 1986 to overcome limitations in previous computer-aided manufacturing/milling techniques. Stereolithography is presently used to accurately reproduce both the external and internal anatomy of body structures. Current medical uses of stereolithography include preoperative planning of orthopedic and maxillofacial surgeries, the fabrication of custom prosthetic devices; and the assessment of the degree of bony and soft-tissue injury caused by trauma. We propose that there is a useful, as yet untapped, potential for this technology in forensic medicine.
立体光刻是一种计算机辅助方法，可用于根据各种医学数据快速创建解剖结构正确的三维环氧树脂和丙烯酸树脂模型。可以利用多种成像方式，包括计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像。该技术于1986年首次开发并使用，以克服先前计算机辅助制造/铣削技术的局限性。目前，立体光刻用于精确再现身体结构的外部和内部解剖结构。立体光刻目前在医学上的用途包括骨科和颌面外科手术的术前规划、定制假体装置的制造；以及评估外伤引起的骨和软组织损伤程度。我们认为，这项技术在法医学中具有尚未开发的有用潜力。
