which the 3D printing experts will discuss how to implement 3D
Printing into your hospital.
"Radiologists have a unique opportunity to utilize 3D printing
to benefit their patients and their practice, as well as to expand
their roles within hospitals," said Vancraen. "Leveraging our
solutions during both the imaging stage with software like Mimics,
and the production stage with our 3D printing services, providing
3D printed anatomical models has never been easier or more
accessible for medical professionals."
