Alizarin red staining, highlighting sites of mineralization, in a PLAG5*20% scaffold, provides evidence of 3D macroporosity and its capacity for enhanced osteogenesis. Bone is a highly ...

Researchers have developed a new 3D-scanning technique for bones that provides high-quality 3D images, without exposing patients to radiation.

Safer Scans: Reduces radiation exposure for patients by 95%–99% Faster Results: Generates high-quality 3D images of bones and anatomy in under a minute, using as few as 2–4 X-ray snapshots ...

Doctors shared the challenges of helping their young patients with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, with Anamika Prasad. In the majority of cases, treatment requires a highly complicated surgery ...

Images credit: Materialise. Materialise uses Concept Laser 3D-printing machines to “print” the new implants — first as a prototype that Lantieri can measure against a 3D model of the skull to ensure a ...

The earliest-known example of Chinese writing -- written more than 3,000 years ago on the bones of an ox -- has become the world's first Chinese oracle bone to be scanned and printed in 3D ...

Soon to be replaced? No metal plates or screws needed: a new 3D-printed ceramic implant mends broken legs by holding the fractured parts together, then turning into natural bone. The implant has ...
