From visual human to three-dimensional visualization 3D printing of liver
Abstract：Digital medicine is a discipline which crosses over many subjects, involving various fields. It is widely used in many aspects of clinical medicine gradually. It makes digital medicine the model of translational medicine through its rapid development in hepatopancreatobiliary surgery from the"visual human"system established in America in 1989 to three-dimensional(3D) visualization 3D printing of liver now. Digital medicine, especially the 3D visualization technology, could bring us new ideas about diagnosing diseases, choosing therapeutic schedules, evaluating the risks of surgery and so on. It is changing the strategy of diagnosis and treatment and making the hepatopancreatobiliary surgery enter the era of 3D.
