Watch the American Drama "Pure Genius" Know How to Reveal the Significance of Medical 3D Printing?


American Drama "Pure Genius"


For everyone without a medical background, medical treatment is often revolutionary. But Xiao Bian found a hospital theatre where pure genius's highly medical solutions often relied on the recently established medical procedures. In other words, controversial treatment procedures usually come from actual medical breakthroughs already in use by hospitals. This can be fun from some drama series (doctors usually don't feel, but we do). This series of pilot drama on the high-tech medical supplies, reflects the application of 3D printing in the hospital growing on heart model 3D print to solve especially tense situation.

Of course, the average reader will know that the 3D print model can increasingly be found in hospitals around the world, especially for very unusual and highly complex surgeries. In the most extreme cases, what we've seen is this 3D print heart model, which helped save a five day old baby from congenital heart defects. Just two years ago, these types of projects were disposable and rare, but many hospitals are now increasingly systematized in the production of these 3D print surgical models. Through collaboration with the Arizona State University, Phoenix children's hospital through their heart 3D printing laboratory, in fact, regulate the production of these 3D print heart model. The same episode now appears on TV, "pure genius".

The emergence of the 3D print surgical model in the mainstream show really illustrates how far this 3D printing technology is. The series itself was launched last Thursday, and is actually focused on extensive medical solutions driven by these gadgets. The problem is genius James Bell (Augustus Prew), a young billionaire entrepreneur, a rare complication, such as congenital heart defects with free treatment of high-tech revolution.

This is especially true in medical drama, but this 3D print solution has been used regularly at Phoenix children's hospital. In fact, according to statistics from universities and hospitals, there are about two 3D print heart models per week. In general, they provide surgeons with the data needed to plan an operation before entering any patient.

The heart of 3D printing laboratory has actually been developed for a long time, its origin can be traced back to 2010, when the ASU engineering professor David Freixas began recruiting professional art as his image processing laboratory - they can see the possibility of new technology. Justin Ryan is one of them and has been accepted into graduate programs in biomedical engineering. He is now running the Cardiac 3D printing laboratory.

3D printing has now been considered a medical potential, but it doesn't have any use, because 3D print accurate heart models may take weeks, and by then patients may have died. Through the efforts of Ryan and his team, they actually implemented the model in 2012, and with the help of the leadership of the Phoenix children's Hospital, they bought a 3D printer. "A printer in the hospital means we're next door," Ryan said. "The surgeon can look at the image and make several adjustments, and then we can print it once.".

Now, the heart model of patients at Feinikesi children's hospital can print 3D in 9 hours or less, and has produced more than 300. This allows the heart 3D printing laboratory to be the most manufactured surgical model 3D printer in the United States, and they are also manufactured for other local hospitals. Even adult patients benefit from this 3D printing process. In addition to the heart, they are also 3D printing, cancer and so on.

"Not only print, tell the surgeon before the surgery, it helps the child to figure out what the tumor actually looks like," Ryan said. "After the operation, we gave the patient a 3D print of the tumor and let him or her smash it.". Although pure genuis is lagging behind in some respects, the next step in medical 3D printing is not enough. Ryan and his team are also looking for skin cell tests and hope to experiment with liver cells, but they estimate that it may take decades for 3D printing organs to be realistic. But some of them, such as 3D printed heart valves, can be implemented in a year or five. They say 3D print skeletons and other implants, 3D print bones from cancer patients, have also been put on the agenda.
