Research progress of 3D printing technology in congenital heart disease / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

3D printing technology has achieved good results in the diagnosis and guidance of congenital heart disease(CHD). Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used as data sources to establish a three-dimensional model of the heart, which has been used clinically.The use of non-invasive techniques such as three-dimensional ultrasound to obtain data sources for 3D printing models can bring about changes in the diagnosis and treatment of CHD.This paper reviews the research progress of 3D printing technology in CHD with CT, MRI and 3D ultrasound.
