3D PRINTING IN RADIOLOGY: SHAPING THE FUTURE OF IMAGING IN INDIA

Abstract

Radiology serves as a crucial pillar of modern medicine, with advancements in imaging technology continuously reshaping diagnostic and therapeutic practices. Recent technological advancements have introduced 3D reconstruction techniques to produce high-resolution anatomical models that aid in diagnosing complex conditions. This article traces the evolution of Three-dimensional printing, highlighting its applications in medical fields. Three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a transformative force in radiology, bridging the gap between digital imaging and physical reality. This review explores the dynamic interplay between 3D imaging and 3D 3 printing within the Indian healthcare landscape, focusing on how these innovations enhance imaging methods and improve patient outcomes. Despite the potential of 3D printing in healthcare, the literature on its implementation in India is limited. While adoption remains in the early stages, 3D printing has shown potential in various applications. However, implementation faces significant challenges; despite the obstacles, the technology offers a unique opportunity to address India's healthcare challenges, particularly in providing personalized medical solutions to its large population. Few studies have been published, highlighting the need for greater exploration of this technology 's benefits in clinical settings. This review aims to synthesize existing research, address the challenges faced in adoption, and discuss the innovative applications of 3D printing
