Brest Researchers 3D Print Lung Phantom with Built-In Pulmonary Embolism for CT and Nuclear Imaging

Researchers at University Hospital of Brest in France have 3D printed a fillable left lung model that simulates a pulmonary embolism (PE). They built it on a Formlabs Fuse 1+ selective laser sintering (SLS) system. The model is meant to give CT and nuclear medicine scans a known reference to measure against. In tests, a…
