Revision hip joint prosthesis
Martha had an artificial hip joint inserted after an accident 25 years ago. After it was discovered that parts of the implant had shifted over time, we helped Martha and her surgeons with a preoperative training model of her hip.
Augmented reality and 3D printing into liver surgery
A team led by Professor Igor Sauer, Head of Experimental Surgery at Charité, has come a great deal closer to the goal of integrating augmented reality and 3D printing into treatment.
3D reconstruction of a cranial fracture
An upcoming operation is not necessarily the only reason for creating a 3D medical model. For the collaboration with city of Halle's medical examiner's office, the reason was the investigation of a murder case.
