X-ray technician Anna Model

The first heart model for 3D printing was prepared by X-ray technician Anna Model. It is a very demanding process which involves computer tomography and contrast enhancement. The process includes drawing the smallest details of the future heart copy. The first heart model took nearly a week to be completed.

Young scientists, students of Belarusian State Medical University, Artyom Nevyglas and Stanislav Lepeshko helped improve the process and reduce the time needed to make a 3D heart model down to five hours.
