Research on filament fabrication for medical 3D printers and application of human skeletal phantoms
3D printing technology is revolutionizing the medical field and is playing an important role in the creation of human phantom. These phantom contributes to medical education and training, and medical device development by imitating the radiation characteristics of real patient tissue in X-ray and CT scans. However, existing filament has limitation in that it cannot accurately reproduce the density and characteristics of internal organs of the human body
In this study, we developed a new filament that can express CT numbers similar to human bones using various additives based on IPS filaments. The self-produced filaments were able to achieve CT numbers similar to human bones, allowing for the creation of anatomical models at a low cost. This is expected to greatly improve the practicality and practicality of medical education and training.
