Outline of Final Research Achievements

It has been found that a three-dimensional model created using 3D printers are useful for simulation and training in neurosurgery. It is particularly useful for understanding the structure of the surgical field, but further research is needed to improve the texture. In addition, it is also necessary to develop a method for producing a three-dimensional model more easily. Physiological studies were also conducted on why three-dimensional models are useful, but no significant results were obtained. In this regard, I would like to continue research after examining methods.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

脳神経外科手術のためには、術野の複雑な解剖（構造）の十分な理解が必要である。本研究で開発した立体モデルを用いることにより、それらの理解が容易になる。その結果、より安全で効率的な手術を行う一助となる。また、より効果的な立体モデル作製の手法がある程度わかった。この手法が広く用いられることで、さらに手術の安全と効率化に寄与できる。
