Abstract:

Objective To analyze the effect of 3-D printing model-assisted traditional medical imaging technology in clinical teaching for neurosurgery postgraduates and explore new education teaching methods. Methods We taught junior neurosurgery postgraduates typical cases by using traditional medical imaging technology. The 3-D printing model-assisted traditional medical imaging technology was used in secondary teaching. We evaluated the new method by questionnaires and direct questions after teaching course. Results Students generally reflected that the sensory understanding and spatial recognition of the disease had a very big promotion after integrating the two technologies. However, the problems existing in current 3-D printing technology, such as low printing speed and shortness of simulation were the obstacles to the further understanding of diseases for students. Conclusion In the teaching field of neurosurgery postgraduates, 3-D printing model-assisted traditional medical imaging technology is a great potential method. With the development of 3-D printing technology, the advantage will become even more apparent.
