3D Printing in Neurosurgery and Neurovascular Intervention

This chapter provides a textbook approach to medical 3D printing applied to neurological and neurovascular interventions. Patient-specific simulations for aneurysm repair have been an important use of 3D printed anatomic models. These details will be valuable for surgeons, radiologists, and neurologists who perform these procedures. A majority of brain tumors have been 3D printed to help guide the procedure. For many patients, the patient-specific anatomic model is used to determine the best surgical approach.
