❤ Friday's Project - 3D Heart Modelling Software ❤
Heartbeat have funded and continuing to fund the UK's first specialist 3D cardiac modelling software to be situated at the Wessex Cardiac Centre in the university Hospital Southampton.
It allows our surgeons to get an accurate 3D printed model our children's heart before surgery, to provide additional insight and improving peace of mind to the patients and their families.
The 3D technology is said to encourage less evasive, and more accurate, pre-operative planning for surgery on children with congenital heart disease.
The models produced will be an exact replica of the patient’s heart, and will offer an in-depth look at the organ, including any tiny imperfections that may have originally been missed.
The use of this new and cutting-edge technology means that surgeons can meticulously plan any operations necessary and completely minimise the number of invasive operations and procedures that the child will undergo throughout his or her life.
