Innovation Award In this month’s scientific release, the 2021 ACPSEM Innovation Award winner, Dr Rance Tino, continues his 3D print series. His research work involved segmenting CT datasets to extract soft-, bone-, and lung-tissue volumes. By developing a low-cost 3D printer, he was able to manufacture simulated anthropomorphic phantoms for Read more…

It’s not an exaggeration to say that machine learning has taken the world by storm in the last ten years. Researchers are rapidly adopting machine learning in clinics for various medical applications, including diagnosis, prognosis and therapy. Machine learning (particularly deep learning) is well suited to automate many of the Read more…
In Parts 1-5 of this MRI story, it describes how the discovery of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) evolved into being a diagnostic tool for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of biological samples and eventually mice. The 2003 winners of the Nobel prize was based on this work. But who was the Read more…
The first 3D printing technique was reported by the Japanese inventor, Dr Hideo Kodama, which is a process that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) light to cure photo-sensitive liquid and which then becomes a solid 3D object. Charles Hull, founder of 3D Systems, later patented this technique in 1986, calling it Stereolithography Read more…

The ABC News Report, 14 March 2022: Members may not have seen the recent television coverage of ‘3D Printing for Cancer Patients’ at the Herston Biofabrication Institute. Scott Crowe’s article, 3D printing for radiotherapy, published in our Better Healthcare Technology website (July, 2021), is a member of this research group. Read more…
The goal of prostate radiation therapy The goal of radiotherapy when treating patients with localised prostate cancer, is to distribute sufficient radiation dose to eradicate the tumour and as little as possible to all parts of the surrounding healthy tissues. Clinicians want to make sure that enough radiation dose reaches Read more…
