DESCRIPTION:Near You Event - Establishing a surgical planning service based
  on 3D printing technologies\n\nEvent Type: Talk or debate\n\nIndustry Sec
 tor: Biomedical engineering\n\nSpeak Details: Paolo Gargiulo is Associated
  Professor at the center of Medical Technology\, Reykjavik University/Univ
 ersity Hospital Landspitali. His research lies in the field of clinical an
 d tissue engineering\, medical image processing and 3-D modelling with ove
 r 60 papers in peer reviewed international journals.\n\nDescription : The 
 use of 3D printing technologies in healthcare applications is a well-known
  and consolidated process. This process is based on the acquisition of vol
 umetric images from computerized tomography and / or magnetic resonance an
 d on their elaboration through specific software applications (eg. MIMICS\
 , Materialize) allow isolating / segmenting the anatomical regions of inte
 rest and producing files of compatible format with 3d dimensional printers
 .\nThe real challenge today is to create specific patient anatomical model
 s to support surgical planning as integrated services in a Hospital system
 . Dr. Paolo Gargiulo is a pioneer of these technologies\, he has establish
 ed\, more than 10 years ago\, the first integrated surgical planning servi
 ce in Europe based on 3D printing technologies at Landspitali National Hos
 pital of Iceland. During these years more than 200 operations have been as
 sisted using these techniques in various clinical specialties such us: max
 illofacial\, orthopedic\, plastic surgery\, cardiac surgery and neurosurge
 ry. In all cases there was a substantial reduction in the time in the oper
 ating room and greater safety in implementing the surgical procedure. In s
 ome cases this process helped save patient's lives having provided additio
 nal information on the disease and giving the surgeon the opportunity to t
 ry the surgical procedure directly on the 3D model [1].\n\n\nContact Detai
