3D Printing Kidney Models to Provide better information to Patients

We have seen various applications of 3D printing within the medical field. Particularly useful has been the 3D printing of models so that Surgeons could operate from a more informative position. A recent study however, has shown that 3D printed models of the kidney can play a vital role in providing patients more information so that they can better understand their problem, and prepare themselves for surgery and the complications which may be caused.
