Erlanger 3D Organs

A revolutionary new partnership in health care can save lives, and help local Doctors save organs in a person’s body.
Erlanger Health System has teamed up with 3D Operations, Incorporated.
The two companies will study the use of 3D printing to improve surgeries and help patients.
For example, a 3D model can be printed of a person’s organs.
The model they showed the media was of a person with tumors in their kidney.
It helped Doctors save the person’s kidney, and avoid dialysis.
The 3D models are exact replicas of organs that Doctors can use to plan surgeries, or practice medical procedures.
