TOPICAL ISSUES OF USING 3D TECHNOLOGIES IN MEDICINE
Three-dimensional technology is firmly embedded in various fields of science. Medicine was not an exception. 3D technologies are very actively used in healthcare. Moreover, every year they are becoming more and more economical. Three-dimensional technologies in medicine provide great opportunities, allowing to significantly raise the level of quality of medical services. With the development of technology and medicine, more and more modern developments and discoveries are related to the field of medical imaging. These technologies include the majority of non-invasive methods of information display, the most common of which are CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Increasingly, in medicine, 3D printing technologies are used. With the development of inkjet bioprinting, it became possible to form high-precision volumetric organic models with specialized use of biomaterial, and with the advent of microextrusion bioplast technology, it became possible to superimpose cells with very high density. In surgery, 3D printing is used to model the organ and conduct careful planning for the upcoming intervention, using a physical layout. Augmented reality technologies allow surgeons to have access to MRI, CT or scintigraphy data, projected onto the patient during surgery.
