Marking a significant advancement in medical technologies, a team of researchers from the Medical University of Vienna and Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) has 3D printed the world’s first high-resolution brain.
Modeled after the structure of brain fibers, the 3D-printed “brain phantom” can be imaged with a specialized form of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) known as dMRI.
According to the study done by the team, these brain models can help with the investigation of neurodegenerative illnesses like multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s.
The details of the team’s research were published in the journal Advanced Materials Technologies.
