1. Mount Sinai’s neurosurgery department heads the Medical Modeling Core, offering a resource for clinicians to order 3-D models with patient-specific requirements.
2. The Medical Modeling Core also offers virtual reality and simulation on a fee-for-service system, with quick deliveries.
3. Anthony Costa, PhD, heads the team offering the 3-D printing services. He serves as an assistant neurosurgery professor and scientific director of the Neurosurgery Simulation Core at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
4. Some of the 3-D models already printed include spine modeling for severe scoliosis correction and skull-base tumors with surrounding vasculature and cranial nerves.
5. The Medical Modeling Core’s Rapid Prototyping Center houses four 3-D printers and a laser cutter for patient-unique neuroanatomy.
6. In addition to Mount Sinai’s neurosurgery department, the system’s orthopedics, surgery, otolaryngology and cardiology departments have also entered collaborations with the Medical Modeling Core.
