3D Technology in Pediatric Cardiology (3TPC)
Making patient-specific virtual reality and 3D printed heart models for pre-surgical and pre-interventional planning
Tarique Hussain, M.D., Ph.D., uses advanced imaging techniques to advance patient care and education.
The 3D Printing Technology in Pediatric Cardiology (3TPC) is our lab’s initiative to better understand congenital heart disease through the use of advanced visualization techniques including virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and 3D printing.
We use novel cardiac MRI sequences to understand the vessel wall in health and disease.
Our lab works to better predict clinical outcomes in patients with orthotopic heart transplants using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and cardiac CT.
