ETZ In-Hospital 3D Lab

Welcome to the twitter account of the clinical 3D Lab in the ETZ Elisabeth hospital in Tilburg NL. Our surgeons and technical medicine students conduct research and implement innovations in the field of #3Dprinting and #augmentedreality on the #HoloLens2. Follow us for updates!

3D print of a perianal fistula by our @3DLab_ETZ ; however no internal opening 😳 - #complexdiverticulardisease @Dwaso2

Our PhD student @agroenenberg96 got interviewed yesterday on her hologram-guided surgery project at @BNR ! Listen to it here (from minute 19:00): lnkd.in/eWF728Dv #3dsurgery #hologramguidedsurgery #medtech #innovationinhealthcare #hololens2 #augmentedreality #markerless

3D printing useful in pre- operative planning of endovascular aneurysm repair, in patient information and education. @ETZnl @Til_Surg @3DLab_ETZ @Brouwers_3D

Yesterday, our vascular surgeons used the @CydarMedical EV system and an in-house printed #3Dprint for a very interesting #FEVAR surgery. #MedTech Innovations used at its best! #innovation #surgery #FEVAR

Last week, our #traumasurgeons fixed a complex pelvic fracture by using a 1:1 in-house printed #3dprint of the fracture. It was very useful for insight in the 3D position of the fracture and for measuring distance of and between fragments! #3dprinter #medtech #surgery #medicine

@_MeasureTwice_ @ZimNl @JayMorris_MD @Jordanfletch6 @MayoClinic @HP Furthermore, the added value often depends on the type of surgery, the patient specific case and the personal preference of the surgeons

Cardiothoracic surgery is made easier when you can hold the patients #heart in your hand . Life-size patient specific models aid #surgeons @MayoClinic. #Patient reported outcomes also improve secondary to increased understanding. @hp #3Dprinting #MedTwitter #cardiotwitter

@_MeasureTwice_ @ZimNl @JayMorris_MD @Jordanfletch6 @MayoClinic @HP It would depend on whether you're using a 3D virtual model displayed in 3D space such as with the HoloLens. Then, the added value of a print could be questioned. However, If you're using a 3D virtual model rendered on a 2D screen, the orientation & is a lot harder to estimate

Great work by @vitovandal @3DLab_ETZ @ETZnl in the 3D imaging of complex perianal fistulas!

Altijd al willen weten hoe traumachirurgen gebruik kunnen maken van #3Dprinting of #AugmentedReality ? Chirurgie NL brengt komende tijd innovatieve projecten in beeld. Eerste aflevering opgenomen in @ETZnl 3Dprinting ✔️ youtu.be/jOaBubSG-xA AR ✔️ youtu.be/xtR6mrgm-Fg

#3Dsurgery in @ETZnl. #AugmentedReality. Carotid artery, fistulas, abdominal cancer, fractures. Can we perform minimally invasive surgery by using holograms in the near future? Let’s find out! 🔜 youtu.be/xtR6mrgm-Fg @HoloLens @JoosHeisterkamp @patrickvriens @ZimNl @hololens

Curious to see our #3Dprinting workflow in the @ETZnl Hospital? This is how the #surgeons and #technicalmedicine students work together and use #innovation for optimal patient treatment! Thanks @NTvHeelkunde #surgery #medtech #3D heelkunde.nl/themas/thema?d…

Operating a patient with complex fistula today - thanks @3DLab_ETZ for the quick 3D print!!!

3D printed models can be of added value during surgery for better visualisation of the fracture. In this case, a model printed with the Form 2 assisted the surgeons during a reposition of the coracoid process. #3Dprinting #Formlabs #Surgery #ETZ

@MatiBiancucci Hi Matías, sorry, we missed your message! You can email us at 3dlab@etz.nl for contact 😃

@3DLab_ETZ Hey! Would love to chat and share experiencies about 3DP and AR/VR in healthcare. Your work looks quite interesting. How can I get in touch with you?

Today we had some fun with the #HoloLens2! One of our TM students is posing with the #carotid artery and vertebrae of a patient manually overlayed on him! Still, we are working on #markerless registration and hope to do this automatically in the future! #MR #Surgery #hologram #AR

An internal hernia of the bowel is often very hard to track and understand via 2D CT scans. Hence, we segmented the vascularity from the CT scan and #3dprinted it. The characteristic swirl sign is very clear in 3D. This model will be used for education in #gesurgery.

In the 3D lab, we print abdominal aortic aneurysms(AAA) before surgery so the surgeon can retrieve a good insight on the 3D orientation of the arteries and the aneurysmal sac. #aneurysm #3dprint #medtech #innovation @Ultimaker

@Schooleman @Brouwers_3D @ETZnl @Ultimaker Hi Jacky, the displaying medium makes all the difference in this case, since it provides interaction between virtual and real objects as well as in-depth 3D projection of the holograms. ☺️

@Brouwers_3D @ETZnl @Ultimaker Still AR or MR as you wish... only the displaying medium is different... Hololens looks more like a headmounted version of the original VPMicrolab Viewer:
