The yellow and pink heart in Dr. Huie Lin's office is an exact replica of the one beating inside the chest of Allison Bennie — a 3-D model that helped save her life. Two years ago, the 29-year-old ...

MINNEAPOLIS -- Paul Iaizzo's Visible Heart Lab at the University of Minnesota hums with activity. Heart monitors, computer readouts, and a bank of 3D printers. Iaizzo's staff aren't racing to print ...

Ready to turn a simple photo into a professional 3D model? In today’s tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to create a 3D ...

An engineer has created a 3D model of the human heart, inspired by his daughter’s heart condition, with the goal of creating a library of virtual hearts for researchers to use whenever they want.

While the revolutionary technique of three-dimensional (3D) printing has actually been a working concept for over 30 years, this technology has transformed from previously being used strictly for ...

Engineers developed a procedure to 3D print a soft and flexible replica of a patient's heart. These models could help doctors tailor treatments, such as aortic valves, to an individual patient. No two ...

In the U.S., someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds, and yet researchers have not had a model that fully mimics what occurs in the human heart after a heart attack. A team of investigators at the ...

3D printing has opened up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to medical implants, allowing surgeons to equip patients with bespoke devices tailored to perfectly fit their unique anatomy, ...

Linwei Wang is blurring the lines of artificial intelligence and bio­medicine research so that heart surgeons can see more clearly. The associate professor in RIT’s computing and information sciences ...

Cardiovascular-related disorders are a significant global health problem. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in developed countries, accounting for a third of the mortality ...
