Springer Printed Biomaterials Novel Processing And Modeling Techniques For Medicine And Surgery 2010 Edition by Roger Narayan Thomas Boland Yuan-Shin Lee
Recent studies have shown that novel processing and modeling techniques may be used to create patient-specific prostheses artificial tissues and other implants using data obtained from magnetic resonance imaging computed tomography or other imaging techniques. For example customized prostheses may be fabricated that possess suitable features including geometry size and weight for a given medical condition. Many advances have been made in the development of patient-specific implants in the past decade yet this information is not readily available to scientists and students. Printed Biomaterials: Novel Processing and Modeling Techniques for Medicine and Surgery provides the biomaterials scientist and engineer as well as advanced undergraduate or graduate students with a comprehensive discussion of contemporary medical implant research and development. The development of printed biomaterials is multidisciplinary and includes concepts traditionally associated with engineering materials science medicine and surgery. This text highlights important topics in these core fields in order to provide the fundamentals necessary to comprehend current processing and modeling technologies and to develop new ones.
