Maintaining safety and efficacy for 3D printing in medicine
Journal Title: 3D Printing in Medicine - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The increased and accelerating utilization of 3D printing in medicine opens up questions regarding safety and efficacy in the use of medical models. The authors recognize an important shift towards point-of-care manufacturing for medical models in a hospital environment. This change, and the role of the radiologist as a central facilitator of these services, opens discussion about topics ranging from clinical uses to patient safety to regulatory implications.
