World’s first high-resolution brain developed by 3D printer

In a joint project between MedUni Vienna and TU Wien, the world’s first 3D-printed “brain phantom” has been developed, which is modelled on the structure of brain fibres and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). As a scientific team led by MedUni Vienna and TU Wien has now shown in a study, these brain models can be used to advance research into neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis. The research work was published in the journal “Advanced Materials Technologies”. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a widely used diagnostic imaging technique that
