To train the machine learning model, we have to slice the 3D ear scans into 2D images, label the relevant data on the scan with specific diagnoses, then feed the images to the model." ...

A doctor in the U.K. is using 3D scanning and printing technology to create hyper-accurate ear implants for children suffering from congenital ear defects.

THIS is not just any ear. It is the official standard for the human pinna, or outer ear. Called IEC TR 60959, its shape was defined in 1990 by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC ...

The ear was constructed from her own cells as a mirror replica of her other ear. Outside experts said it is the first time that 3D-printed tissue had been implanted into a human body.

Using state-of-the-art tissue engineering techniques and a 3D printer, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell Engineering have assembled a replica of an adult human ear that looks and ...
