3D models offer an unprecedented understanding of complex anatomy, critical for carrying out high-risk, complex procedures.

Our program’s highlights since August 2018 include:

• Over 500 3D modeling cases
• Over 250 3D-printed medical models that assist surgical or other procedural planning
• 2 intraoperative EchoPixel cases
• Assistance with out-of-state or international referrals
• Virtual ventricular assist device placement (a first for UCSF)
• Creating models for percutaneous procedure planning – models that allow our Interventional Radiology specialists to pre-shape catheters for challenging anatomies
• Ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure planning for high-risk fetal cases

We have active collaborations with a growing number of subspecialties throughout UCSF, including:

• Orthopaedics
• Pediatric Cardiology
• Cardiothoracic Surgery
• Adult Cardiology
• Plastic Surgery
