# Custom 3D-Printed Heads RTsafe Launched Personalized PseudoPatient Models for Surgeons to Practice By Grace Mahas | Published 2019-06-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/personalized-pseudopatient-models References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/personalized-pseudopatient-3dprinting/) & [rt-safe](https://rt-safe.com/) RTsafe has allowed surgeons to practice [precise, high-risk brain surgeries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woxsen-university) on Personalized PseudoPatient models. The model is created through a 3D-printing from a CT scan of the patient's head, brain, and tumor Any surgery involving the brain requires complete accuracy -- least there be permanent damage like disrupted speech or paralysis. As medical science advances, more [accurate methods are being developed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/large-medical-model) for personalized care such as the Personalized PseudoPatient model. According to RTsafe's website, “As radiation therapy becomes even more customizable to each individual patient, the complexities of the supporting treatment planning system and the dose delivery system increase." This innovation will allow surgeons to have a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's brain through a [simulation practice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-computing-simulator). As more innovative medical tools are developed, we can expect the accuracy of medicine to increase. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.7/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized Pseudopatient Models:** The creation of Personalized PseudoPatient models through 3D printing from a CT scan of the patient's head,brain, and tumor is a disruptive innovation opportunity for the medical industry. - **3D Printing in Precision Medicine:** There's a trend towards using 3D printing in precision medicine, which will allow for better simulations and practices in complex surgeries like those involving the brain. - **Radiation Therapy Technology Advancements:** As radiation therapy becomes more customizable, there is a trend towards the development of more complex supporting treatment planning systems and dose delivery systems, creating disruptive innovation opportunities for the medical industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Medical Industry:** The medical industry can benefit from Personalized PseudoPatient models, 3D printing in precision medicine, and advancements in radiation therapy technology. - **3D Printing Industry:** The 3D printing industry can capitalize on the trend of using 3D printing in precision medicine through the design and production of more precise and personalized medical models. - **Radiology Industry:** The radiology industry can leverage radiation therapy technology advancements to develop more sophisticated treatment planning systems and delivery systems, which can help to improve patient outcomes and safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Machine Learning-Powered Healthcare Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/andrew-zhou.md) - [Patented 3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3d-bone.md) - [3D-Printed Pelvic Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pelvic-implants.md) - [Brain Tumor-Focused Mri Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-tumor.md) - [Spatial Computing-Powered Training Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/injection-simulator.md) - [Desktop Medical 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/einstein-dental.md) - [3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellaseno.md) - [3D Medicine Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doserx1.md) - [Virtual Medical Training Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elara.md)
