3D printed brain model helps surgeons save 60-year-old woman with cerebral aneurysm

Another positive tale for 3D printing in the medical field has come out of the UAE this week, as a 60-year-old woman successfully underwent treatment for a life-threatening cerebral aneurysm thanks in large part to a 3D printed model of her brain. The patient-specific 3D printed model enabled a team of surgeons from the Rashid Hospital in Dubai to carefully map out and plan the complex surgical operation.
