Medical three-dimensional (3D) printing is playing an increasingly important role in clinical practice. The use of 3D printed models in patient care offers a wide range of possibilities in terms of personalized medicine, training and education of medical professionals, and communication with patients. DICOM files from imaging modalities such as CT and MRI provide the basis for the majority of the 3D models in medicine. The image acquisition, processing, and interpretation of these lies within the responsibility of radiology, which can therefore play a key role in the application and further development of 3D printing.The purpose of this review article is to provide an overview of the principles of 3D printing in medicine and summarize its most important clinical applications. It highlights the role of radiology as central to developing and administering 3D models in everyday clinical practice.This is a narrative review article on medical 3D printing that incorporates expert opinions based on the current literature and practices from our own medical centers.While the use of 3D printing is becoming increasingly established in many medical specialties in Germany and is finding its way into everyday clinical practice, centralized "3D printing labs" are a rarity in Germany but can be found internationally. These labs are usually managed by radiology departments, as radiology is a connecting discipline that - thanks to the imaging technology used to produce data for 3D printing - can play a leading role in the application of medical 3D printing. Copying this approach should be discussed in Germany in order to efficiently use the necessary resources and promote research and development in the future. · 3D printing in medicine is a rapidly growing field.. · Image acquisition and processing provides an important basis for high-quality 3D models.. · Radiology, as the specialist discipline responsible for imaging, has a crucial role to play.. · Radiology should play a leading role in the introduction of 3D printing in everyday clinical practice. . · Streckenbach A, Schubert N, Streckenbach F et al.

医学三维（3D）打印在临床实践中发挥着越来越重要的作用。在患者护理中使用3D打印模型在个性化医疗、医学专业人员的培训与教育以及与患者的沟通方面提供了广泛的可能性。来自CT和MRI等成像模态的DICOM文件为医学中的大多数3D模型提供了基础。这些文件的图像采集、处理和解读由放射科负责，因此放射科在3D打印的应用和进一步发展中可以发挥关键作用。这篇综述文章的目的是概述医学3D打印的原理，并总结其最重要的临床应用。它强调了放射科在日常临床实践中开发和管理3D模型方面的核心作用。这是一篇关于医学3D打印的叙述性综述文章，纳入了基于当前文献和我们自己医疗中心实践的专家意见。虽然3D打印在德国的许多医学专科中越来越成熟，并正在进入日常临床实践，但德国的集中式“3D打印实验室”很少见，但在国际上可以找到。这些实验室通常由放射科管理，因为放射科是一个连接学科——由于用于生成3D打印数据的成像技术——在医学3D打印的应用中可以发挥主导作用。在德国应该讨论采用这种方法，以便有效利用必要的资源并促进未来的研发。·医学3D打印是一个快速发展的领域。·图像采集和处理为高质量3D模型提供了重要基础。·放射科作为负责成像的专业学科，具有至关重要的作用。·放射科应在日常临床实践中引入3D打印方面发挥主导作用。·施特伦巴赫A、舒伯特N、施特伦巴赫F等。医学3D打印的现状与展望及放射科的作用。《Fortschr Röntgenstr》2024年；DOI 10.1055/a - 2436 - 7185 。
