Bristol 3D Medical Centre is a dedicated centre for in-house medical 3D design and 3D printing. It hosts a variety of medical device design software, state-of-the-art 3D printers, high-performance 3D surface scanners and advanced technology used to aid healthcare.
A scanner tool can digitally map an individual’s body whilst sat in a specifically designed planning room which is sophisticated enough to scan moving babies.
3dMDhead images were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Head circumference, cephalic index, scaphocephalic index (SCI), frontal bossing index (FBI), occipital bullet index (OBI), and vertex narrowing index (VNI) were measured automatically using the 3dMDvultus Craniometrics Calculator.
SHAPE reads in a patient’s 3D photogram, automatically places a set of craniofacial landmarks, allows for their manual confirmation and correction, and automatically computes both a series of standard clinical craniofacial measurements and machine learning-based metrics of head development prior to building an analysis report for upload to the patient’s electronic medical record.

3D photogrammetry composites provide a global contour evaluation for diagnosis and longitudinal outcome analysis.
Surface topographic measurements of the torso are correlated to TAPS and SRS-22r self-image scores in AIS patients and controls, with TAPS exhibiting a stronger relationship, better reflecting the patient’s external asymmetries.

The article highlights that the 3dMD imaging system has been used to support their patient care pathways – e.g. craniosynostosis, facial atrophy, Parry-Romberg syndrome, radiation therapy masks, deformational plagiocephaly, pectus carinatum, and may more.
