First of its Kind in Southern California
Welcome to the Helen and Will Webster Foundation 3D Innovations Lab at Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego.
The lab will create 3D models and prints based on medical images, such as CT scans and MRIs. The goals are to support precise surgical planning and improve outcomes specifically for pediatric patients.
Additionally, the lab will:
- Train current and future physicians and scientists
- Develop educational resources for patients and families
- Fuel further innovation in the 3D modeling space
