“We’d better make some rules because otherwise, you can have willy-nilly 3D printing...you can 3D print off your iPhone if you have the right hook-ups, right? But we don’t want that. We want to do really high-quality work," said Frank J. Rybicki, MD, PhD, at the American Heart Association’s 2018 Scientific Sessions in Chicago according to a report by Cardiovascular Business.

Using a variation of an unconventional imaging approach called “ghost imaging," an international team of researchers has successfully taken low dose three-dimensional (3D) x-ray images which may help make screening for early signs of diseases and cancer cheaper, safer and more accessible.
