Featured Review: Quality assurance of 3D-printed patient specific anatomical models: a systematic review
The responsible use of 3D-printing in medicine includes a context-based quality assurance. Considerable literature has been published in this field, yet the quality of assessment varies widely. The limited discriminatory power of some assessment methods challenges the comparison of results. The total error for patient specific anatomical models comprises relevant partial errors of the production process: segmentation error (SegE), digital editing error (DEE), printing error (PrE).
The present review provides an overview to improve the general understanding of the process specific errors, quantitative analysis, and standardized terminology.
