Revolutionary Use of 3D Printing: The world's first 3D-printed "Brain Phantom" enhances diffusion-weighted MRI technology (dMRT) and contributes to the research on neurodegenerative diseases.
Collaboration between TU Wien and MedUni Wien: Through close cooperation between the Vienna University of Technology and the Medical University of Vienna, innovative solutions have been developed, representing a significant advancement in medical imaging.
Revolutionary Use of 3D Printing to Enhance dMRT Technology.
A groundbreaking project by TU Wien and MedUni Wien has produced the world's first 3D-printed "Brain Phantom," enabling an innovative application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
This model, which mimics the structure of brain fibers, allows visualization using a special variant of MRI called diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRT).
Under the leadership of TU Wien and MedUni Wien, a scientific team has demonstrated how these brain models can contribute to advancing research on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Multiple Sclerosis.
