Washington State University researchers have built a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and relaxes to simulate a real heartbeat, complete with embedded sensors and ...

Washington State University researchers have developed a 3D-printed model of the left side of the heart that contracts and beats, offering the chance for surgeons and medical students to rehearse impo ...

The yellow and pink heart in Dr. Huie Lin's office is an exact replica of the one beating inside the chest of Allison Bennie — a 3-D model that helped save her life. Two years ago, the 29-year-old ...

New 3D models of the heart are designed to help surgeons navigate the delicate tissue in the heart while performing repair surgeries. A collaboration between Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU), ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers has developed a virtual 3D heart, digitally showcasing the heart's unique network of neurons for the first time. Using the rat heart as a model, the ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print a full-size model of a patient’s heart. Produced at Carnegie Mellon University by Professor Adam Feinberg and his team in the Departments of Biomedical ...

If you were planning to perform open-heart surgery on someone, it would definitely help if you could first do a "dry run" on an exact replica of their heart. Doing so may soon be possible, thanks to a ...

In the U.S., someone has a heart attack every 40 seconds, and yet researchers have not had a model that fully mimics what occurs in the human heart after a heart attack. A team of investigators at the ...
