Current cardiovascular imaging techniques allow anatomical relationships and pathological conditions to be captured in three dimensions. Three-dimensional (3D) printing, or rapid prototyping, has also become readily available and made it possible to transform virtual reconstructions into physical 3D models. This technology has been utilised to demonstrate cardiovascular anatomy and disease in clinical, research and educational settings. In particular, 3D models have been generated from cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) imaging data for purposes such as surgical planning and teaching. This review summarises applications, limitations and practical steps required to create a 3D printed model from cardiovascular CT.
当前的心血管成像技术能够以三维方式呈现解剖结构关系和病理状况。三维(3D)打印,即快速成型技术,也已唾手可得,使得将虚拟重建转化为物理3D模型成为可能。这项技术已被用于临床、研究和教育环境中展示心血管解剖结构和疾病。特别是,已从心血管计算机断层扫描(CT)成像数据生成3D模型,用于手术规划和教学等目的。本综述总结了从心血管CT创建3D打印模型所需的应用、局限性和实际步骤。
