AI Article Synopsis
- A 6-year-old girl was diagnosed with a large osteochondroma on her scapula, requiring imaging studies like radiographs, CT, and MRI to evaluate the lesion.
- A 3-D model of the scapula was created from the CT data using specialized software and printing technology to visualize the lesion better.
- This 3-D model aided in understanding the anatomy and informed the planning for the surgical removal of the bone tumor.
Article Abstract
A 6 year old girl presented with a large osteochondroma arising from the scapula. Radiographs, CT and MRI were performed to assess the lesion and to determine whether the lesion could be safely resected. A model of the scapula was created by post-processing the DICOM file and using a 3-D printer. The CT images were segmented and the images were then manually edited using a graphics tablet, and then an STL-file was generated and a 3-D plaster model printed. The model allowed better anatomical understanding of the lesion and helped plan surgical management.
