\u2022 Surgeon Uses 3-D Printed Skulls to Prepare for Delicate Procedures<\/p>\n

Jonathan Black, MD, FACS, Assistant Professor of Plastic Surgery, operates in some of medicine\u2019s most challenging situations, including treating children born with deformities and adults suffering from severe trauma caused by violent accidents.<\/p>\n

During the past year, Black has increasingly relied on 3-D printed skulls to help prepare for surgery on some of his most serious cases.<\/p>\n

Black uses computerized tomography, commonly known as a CAT scan, to make a 3-D electronic image of his patients\u2019 skulls. Through a special software, the scans are translated into programming that allows Dwight Dart, design lab engineer in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, to print a three-dimensional, life-sized model.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the skull prints out, the boney anatomy is printed exactly. It makes it easier to plan. It is more accurate and efficient. We like to measure twice and cut once,” said Black.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Virtual Reality Puts Physicians, Trainees \u2013 Even You \u2013 Right in the Operating Room<\/p>\n

Physicians, trainees and even laypeople can now experience what it\u2019s like inside an operating room as an expert radiologist performs one of the most difficult medical procedures of its kind.<\/p>\n

Ziv Haskal, MD, Professor of Radiology, has created a dramatic teaching tool using the power of virtual reality. Whether watched on a high-end VR system or an inexpensive cardboard viewer, Haskal\u2019s virtual procedure puts the viewer right in the operating room with him as he creates a new\u00a0blood vessel through a small nick in a patient\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a complicated procedure \u2013 Haskal calls it an \u201cinterventional radiology heptathlon\u201d \u2013 and his use of VR is set to transform how it is taught. \u201cThe current means of teaching is a physical person has to arrive \u2026 and go over with the doc beforehand. Or they have to look at a lousy 2-D animation on a screen,\u201d Haskal said. \u201cOnce you put [VR] glasses on people, it\u2019s like you walk them through a completely different door.\u201d<\/p>\n
