3D Trial Summary

This trial will explore the use of 3D printing as a new diagnostic tool for pre-surgical planning in order to reduce surgical time and improve post-surgical outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for surgical patients at UCHealth/CHCO and NOC sites, including pregnant women and their fetuses. It's scheduled between June 1, 2021, to June 1, 2026. However, it excludes patients who are 65 years old or older.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a new technique for creating high-resolution patient-specific 3D models from medical images for pre-surgical planning. The goal is to see if these models can reduce surgery time and improve outcomes compared to traditional imaging methods.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-invasive preoperative planning with no direct intervention like medication or surgery, there are no typical side effects associated with the process of creating or using the 3D printed models.
