Improving the quality of medical imaging and improving diagnostics are at the heart of Bentz’ work
Purdue University researchers have devised a way to use 3D printers to ensure that medical imaging techniques offer offer the best performance. The researchers developed a method to use 3D printers to create optical phantoms, which are objects that are scanned or imaged to evaluate, analyze and tune the performance of imaging devices. The phantoms could be adapted for many imaging techniques.
