Abstract：Objective To explore the application of 3D printing technology in individual pelvic structure of female and its value in obstetrics and gynecology based on the CT datasets of the pelvic structure and digital three-dimensional reconstruction. Methods CTA image dataset of a patient from gynecology department was obtained for constructing three-dimensional models of each organ using the digital three-dimensional reconstruction technology , then the digital 3D model with the same size as the model displayed was printed with Z510 3D printer. Results 3D models of patient′s lumbosacral vertebrae, aorta artery, common iliac artery, internal and external iliac artery , postcava , common iliac vein , internal and external iliac vein , pelvis ureter , uterus and uterine artery were printed out in the same size replica of the virtual reality model. Conclusion 3D printed model has all the features of 3D vision and can be touched and felt by people , which can provide new insights for medical education, clinical and medical research.
