EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. & REHOVOT, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stratasys Ltd. (NASDAQ: SSYS), a leader in polymer 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions, today announced it has partnered with Siemens Healthineers to carry out a landmark research project designed to develop new state-of-the-art solutions for the advancement of medical imaging phantoms for computed tomography (CT) imaging..

EDEN PRAIRIE，Minn。和REHOVOT，以色列-（商业线）-Stratasys Ltd.（纳斯达克股票代码：SSYS），聚合物3D打印和增材制造解决方案的领导者，今天宣布与西门子医疗公司合作开展一项具有里程碑意义的研究项目，旨在开发新的最先进的解决方案，以推进计算机断层扫描（CT）成像的医学成像模型。。

A critical tool in medical imaging and an almost universal resource in hospitals worldwide, CT phantoms are specialized devices used to evaluate and ensure the performance of CT scanners. Designed to simulate certain characteristics of the human body, phantoms enable the assessment of various core metrics, including radiation dose and image quality, aiding calibration and safeguarding consistent scanner performance.

CT幻影是医学成像中的关键工具，也是全球医院几乎普及的资源，是用于评估和确保CT扫描仪性能的专用设备。为了模拟人体的某些特征，幻影可以评估各种核心指标，包括辐射剂量和图像质量，帮助校准和保护一致的扫描仪性能。

The joint development leverages Stratasys’ PolyJet™ technology in combination with its unique RadioMatrix™ technology, and Siemens Healthineers’ advanced algorithm aimed at translating scanned patient images into specific material characteristics with radiopacity of human anatomy. The solution will allow for tailored phantom manufacturing and the creation of ultra-realistic human anatomy characteristics with complete radiographic accuracy of patient-specific pathology not previously possible..

联合开发利用Stratasys的PolyJet™ 技术与其独特的放射性基质相结合™ 技术和西门子Healthineers的先进算法旨在将扫描的患者图像转换为具有人体解剖不透射线的特定材料特征。该解决方案将允许定制的幻影制造和创建超现实的人体解剖特征，具有患者特异性病理学的完整放射学准确性，这在以前是不可能的。。

This joint project will transform how phantoms can be utilized in the medical field, and in certain cases even enable device manufacturers and academic facilities to replace human cadavers with 3D printed structures. Having this capability enables critical efficiencies and minimizes inevitable human variability.

这个联合项目将改变幻影在医疗领域的应用方式，在某些情况下甚至可以使设备制造商和学术机构用3D打印结构取代人体尸体。具有这种能力可以实现关键效率并最大限度地减少不可避免的人为差异。

This work will also produce a critical body of research data, providing key insights for advancing CT system algorithms, driving materials development, and unlocking potential new application areas – as well as identifying future research opportunities..

这项工作还将产生关键的研究数据，为推进CT系统算法，推动材料开发和解锁潜在的新应用领域提供关键见解-以及确定未来的研究机会。。

“The current limitations of imaging phantoms have been a longstanding challenge for the radiology community,” said Erez Ben Zvi, Vice President Medical at Stratasys. “This partnership with Siemens Healthineers will enable us to jointly explore the vast possibilities of our radiopaque materials and 3D printing technologies to overcome these barriers.”.

Stratasys副总裁Erez Ben Zvi说：“目前成像体模的局限性一直是放射学界面临的长期挑战。“与西门子医疗保健公司的这种合作将使我们能够共同探索我们的不透射线材料和3D打印技术的巨大可能性，以克服这些障碍。”。

Beginning with the manufacturing of 3D printed phantoms for smaller-scale anatomies of the head and neck region, the research will involve the production of progressively larger and complex anatomies – leading up to the Phase One endpoint of 3D printing a heart model and of an entire human torso with complete radiographic accuracy..

从制造用于头部和颈部区域的较小尺寸解剖结构的3D打印模型开始，研究将涉及产生逐渐变大和复杂的解剖结构-导致3D打印心脏模型和整个人体的第一阶段终点躯干具有完整的射线照相精度。。

“Knowledge gained from this project provides a breakthrough in medical imaging that will open up new avenues for uses when it comes to 3D printing and imaging,” said Lampros Theodorakis, Head of Computed Tomography Product & Clinical Marketing at Siemens Healthineers. “We are excited about the opportunities ahead of us as a result of this partnership and believe it will have long-term impacts for medical and academic applications.”.

西门子医疗保健公司计算机断层扫描产品和临床营销负责人Lampros Theodorakis说：“从这个项目中获得的知识为医学成像提供了突破，将为3D打印和成像开辟新的使用途径。”。“由于这种伙伴关系，我们对我们面前的机会感到兴奋，并相信这将对医疗和学术应用产生长期影响。”。
