Andy Christensen, BS, FSME
Adjunct Faculty, Dept of Radiology, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH
2022 Chair of the RSNA Special Interest Group on 3D Printing
Across the globe, there is an accelerating trend toward hospitals taking control of the 3D printing production of devices to assist in personalized surgery. The driving forces behind the transition from industry-provided devices to devices made in-house varies by locale. Stakeholders in this new ecosystem include the surgical specialties, radiology and hospital administrators. Sustainability in the long term for these personalized surgery tools produced at the point of care will demand reimbursement. It is somewhat amazing that reimbursement is still sparse considering that many of these workflows are now considered clinical standard of care and have been in use for more than two decades. The need for collecting data and examining clinical efficacy and patient impact still exists and will drive this next wave of innovation in this area.
