3D Printed Fatty Liver
Clinical History
No clinical details are available.
Pathology
A slice of liver reveals the characteristic yellow/grey and greasy appearance on one
side. On the other side the appearance is restricted to the outer margin whilst the central area displays darker
colouration possibly due to cirrhosis. This is an example of fatty change in the liver.
Note
Causes of fatty change (steatosis) or accumulations of triglycerides in the liver include
obesity, diabetes, alcohol abuse, starvation, Kwashiorkor, drugs and toxins. Alcoholism is the commonest cause in
most communities.

The models are very detailed and delicate. With normal production machines you cannot realize such details like shown in these models.
The printer used is a color-plastic printer. This is the most suitable printer for these models.
The plastic material is already the best and most suitable material for these prints. (The other option would be a kind of gypsum, but this is way more fragile. You even cannot get them out of the printer without breaking them).The huge advantage of the prints is that they are very realistic as the data is coming from real human specimen. Nothing is shaped or stylized.
The users have to handle these prints with utmost care. They are not made for touching or bending any thin nerves, arteries, vessels etc. The 3D printed models should sit on a table and just rotated at the table.
