How to Implement and Develop a Multidisciplinary 3D Service in a Teaching Hospital

Graham Marshall is a Clinical Prosthetist with 10 years of technical orthodontic experience and 15 years in reconstructive science. He uses the Materialise software suite to produce custom-made orbital floor implants and 3D-printed fibula-marking guides to rehabilitate head and neck patients at University Hospitals Leicester.

Matt Pilley is a specialist in clinical prosthetics with over 30 years of experience in prosthetic rehabilitation and a Fellow of the Institute of Maxillofacial Prosthetists and Technologists. He manages The Prosthesis Clinic, Maxillofacial Laboratory, and 3D printing service at University Hospitals of Leicester, an accredited training unit for MSc in Reconstructive Science by the National School of Health Care Science. He lectures both nationally and internationally and provides courses on the latest advances in maxillofacial prosthetics and associated materials.

Dr. Skinner graduated from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2004. He was trained in general pediatrics from 2005-2011, trained in pediatric cardiology since 2011, and appointed as a consultant post-2018. He has a sub-specialty interest in advanced echocardiography and cross-sectional imaging (especially cardiac CT). He has a keen interest in 3D segmentation, virtual surgical planning, and 3D printing for complex congenital heart disease.

Having been trained in India and across the Midlands in London, Dr. Durairaj has a CCT in pediatrics with special expertise in cardiology, as well as a CCT in pediatric cardiology. He has developed expertise in cross-sectional imaging CT and MRI with a special interest in the field of 3D imaging and printing and promoting personalized precision medicine.

He has been a Consultant Congenital Cardiac Surgeon at the East Midlands Congenital Cardiac Centre since November 2015 and a surgical lead since 2017. A graduate of the Medical School, University of Belgrade in 2000, he worked at the University Children’s Hospital in Belgrade, including pediatric surgical and cardiac surgical training at the Medical School University of Belgrade. He trained in cardiothoracic surgery at the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, where he spent two years as a junior and senior surgical registrar. His major research interest has been myocardial protection which was part of his MD and PhD thesis. His special clinical interests include neonatal cardiac and aortic surgery. He is also interested in exploring the practical benefits of utilizing 3D imaging and printing in both preoperative planning and execution of challenging congenital cardiac procedures.
