3-D Heart Models Help Save Children’s Lives (Inside Science)
Fixing heart defects in children can be complicated, and the more information doctors can get before surgery the better. To help provide that information, Justin Ryan, an artist turned biomedical engineer, is using his technical skills as an artist to make three-dimensional models of a heart to help doctors operate on children’s hearts.
