目的-旨在研究医疗快速成型（医学RP）技术应用和方法的基础上逆向工程（RE）和医学成像数据.设计/方法/途径-医学图像处理和RE应用于构建解剖结构的三维模型，定制的结果-调查的方法被成功地用于生物模型，手术辅助工具，植入物、医疗器械和外科培训模型。自1999.Research限制/影响-医疗RP是一个多学科领域的40多个医疗RP应用程序在欧洲和亚洲实施。它涉及许多人力资源，需要工程和医学方面的高技能和专门知识。此外，医疗RP应用是昂贵的，特别是对低收入国家。这些实际上限制了它的好处和应用hospital.Practical影响-为了成功地将医疗RP转移到医院，医疗和工程网站之间应建立良好的联系和密切的合作。此外，新的医疗应用程序应该开发的方式，不改变传统的方法，医生（MD）的培训，但提供解决方案，以提高诊断和治疗quality.Originality/值-所提出的国家的最先进的医疗RP适用于诊断和治疗在以下医疗领域：颅颌面和牙科外科、神经外科、矫形外科、矫形器和组织工程。本文对医学博士（放射科医生和外科医生）、生物医学和RP/CAD/CAM工程师有用。
Purpose - Aims to investigate medical rapid prototyping (medical RP) technology applications and methods based on reverse engineering (RE) and medical imaging data.Design/methodology/approach - Medical image processing and RE are applied to construct three-dimensional models of anatomical structures, from which custom-made (personalized) medical applications are developed.Findings - The investigated methods were successfully used for design and manufacturing of biomodels, surgical aid tools, implants, medical devices and surgical training models. More than 40 medical RP applications were implemented in Europe and Asia since 1999.Research limitations/implications - Medical RP is a multi-discipline area. It involves in many human resources and requires high skills and know-how in both engineering and medicine. In addition, medical RP applications are expensive, especially for low-income countries. These practically limit its benefits and applications in hospitals.Practical implications - In order to transfer medical RP into hospitals successfully, a good link and close collaboration between medical and engineering sites should be established. Moreover, new medical applications should be developed in the way that does not change the traditional approaches that medical doctors (MD) were trained, but provides solutions to improve the diagnosis and treatment quality.Originality/value - The presented state-of-the-art medical RP is applied for diagnosis and treatment in the following medical areas: cranio-maxillofacial and dental surgery, neurosurgery, orthopedics, orthosis and tissue engineering. The paper is useful for MD (radiologists and surgeons), biomedical and RP/CAD/CAM engineers.
