Hadassah Hospital surgeons have performed what is believed to be the first surgery of its kind in Israel, using two custom 3D printed implants to reconstruct a pelvis and femur almost entirely destroyed by vanishing bone disease, a condition so rare that very few doctors encounter it in an entire career. The patient, a 24-year-old…
MRI coils, the specialised antennas that sit close to the body and capture the radiofrequency signals that become diagnostic images, have long been a bottleneck in clinical imaging. They are rigid, expensive, and built to a one-size-fits-all standard that works reasonably well for adults but poorly for children, infants, and anyone requiring imaging of moving…
