Using 3D Printing Modern Technology in Medicine in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

Researchers in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences managed to use 3D printing in medical sciences.

According to WEBDA, this technology is being studied by Dr. Sirous Nekouyi, head of Radiology Department of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, in the form of research projects, and effective measures have been taken so far in this area. Stating that currently 3D printing has a wide range of applications in industry and in making industrial models and tools, Dr. Sirous Nekouyi said: “This technology is being used as a new method in the field of education and treatment in medical sciences in developed countries. This faculty member of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences noted: “In this method, data is extracted using the sophisticated technology of the results of CT scan and MRI, and the desired part is made. Dr. Nekouyi added: “After feeding data into the machine, the desired sample is heated using plastic materials, and leaves the machine nozzle in the form of strings in layers to a thickness of a tenth of a millimeter. Stating that the duration of printing each part was one to two hours, He explained: “This method is used in anatomical trainings, clinical therapies and surgery”.

The head of Radiology Department of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences noting that various departments of the university such as the Neurology Department have so far used this method in surgeries stated: “This method is used in surgery in such a way that the desired organ is initially made in a 3D form, and then the surgery is held after examining certain injuries”. Dr. Nekouyi Stating that this method is best applicable in the field of anatomy said: “Currently, students study different body organs through books or computers while different body organs, tissues, arteries, neurons and vessels can be tangibly taught to students using this method”.
