Researchers at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) have discovered an innovative way to construct human organ simulations that almost looks real. The aim of this Simulated Inanimate Model is to fabricate a model of the kidney that looks identical to the real one, even when it cuts or bleeds. This revolutionary program is directed by neurosurgeon Jonathan Stone and urology professor Ahmed Ghazi.
Medical scans were converted into computer generated designs through a complex process by Stone and Ghazi to 3D print organ molds. These organs were later injected with a hydrogel that imitates human texture.
“Very few surgical simulations are successful at recreating the live event from the beginning to the end,” Ghazi said. “What we have created is a model that looks, feels, and reacts like a live organ and allows trainees and surgeons to replicate the same experience they would face in the operating room with a real patient.”
