3D printing, also known as Additive manufacturing (AM), has emerged as a transformative technology with applications across various industries, including the medical sector. This review paper provides an overview of the current status of AM technolog...
The Monte Carlo (MC) method provides a complete solution to the tissue heterogeneity effects in low-energy low-dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy. However, long computation times limit the clinical implementation of MC-based treatment planning solutions. ...
As rubber-like elastomers have led to scientific breakthroughs in soft, stretchable characteristics-based wearable, implantable electronic devices or relevant research fields, developments of degradable elastomers with comparable mechanical propertie...
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (MIRPE) is an effective method for correcting pectus excavatum (PE), a congenital chest wall deformity characterized by concave depression of the sternum. In MIRPE, a long, thin, curved stainless plate (i...
