The conclusion.
Arteries are dynamic structures that expand and contract as a result of internal blood pressures. Replicating the movement of arteries is an important part of realistic treatment planning, education, and product testing. The J750 Digital Anatomy printer, thereby, provides value by enabling accurate simulation.
This study suggests that the Digital Anatomy printer and its unique material combinations can create arterial models that are biomechanically similar to human vessels.
In addition, this study demonstrates that it is both feasible and appropriate to characterize distensibility in vascular models using IVUS.
