Summary

Research into medical modelling and the application of design and product development technologies in medicine and surgery requires a multidisciplinary approach. Designed to be accessible to all disciplines, with medical and technical terms explained as clearly and simply as possible, Medical modelling will help a broad range of professionals to understand the technologies, techniques and methods, and how to apply them in medical treatments.
