Physicians at the 人妻少妇专区 Medical Center have developed a new way to fabricate artificial organs and human anatomy that mimics the real thing, even up to the point of bleeding when cut.聽These models are able to create highly realistic simulations for training and could soon be widely used to rehearse complex cases prior to surgery.
The program, which the creators have dubbed Simulated Inanimate Model for a Physical Learning Experience, or SIMPLE, is the brainchild of Ahmed Ghazi, an assistant professor in the , and Jonathan Stone, a resident who also holds a degree in .聽The process entails converting images obtained from medical scans into computer generated designs and, through the assistance of 3D printing, fabricating lifelike organs that can be poked, prodded, and dissected.
鈥淰ery few surgical simulations are successful at recreating the live event from the beginning to the end,鈥� said Ghazi. 鈥淲hat we have created is a model that looks, feels, and reacts like a live organ and allows trainees and surgeons to replicate the same experience they would face in the operating room with a real patient.鈥�
