Abstract Objective: Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a manufacturing method by which an object is created in an additive process, and can be used with medical imaging data to generate accurate
physical reproductions of organs and tissues for a variety of applications. We hypothesized that
using 3D printed models of congenital cardiovascular lesions to supplement an educational lecture
would improve learners’ scores on a board-style examination.
Design and Intervention: Patients with normal and abnormal aortic arches were selected and
anonymized to generate 3D printed models. A cohort of pediatric and combined pediatric/emergency medicine residents were then randomized to intervention and control groups.… More >
