Dear all,
     I am interested in the application of rapid prototyping technology in medical fields.  Is there any people in this list are applying this technology in medicine.  
     As far as I know, RPT can be used for making anatomical models, using the CT/MRI scan data.  These 
models can be used for designing implants or prostheses.  Surgical tools also can be made reduce the time in real  surgery.  Beside this, how many applications are related to RPT?  If you are working in this field, would you mind sharing some ideas with me?
     Also, I will post a summary on the information I am getting.
Thanks in advance.
With best regards,
T.J. Huang
