Development of a 3D-Printed Wistar Rat Model From Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Data for Medical Education and Research Applications.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized medical education and research by enabling the creation of accurate anatomical models derived from imaging studies. This report details the development of a 3D-printed Wistar rat model, produced using DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data from a single radiological study. The model was designed to serve as an educational tool for medical and veterinary students and as a resource for researchers.
