dc.description.abstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) applied to the orthopaedic and surgical domains provided access to newer solutions for customised implants, customised scaffolds or even organ printing. These solutions are based on imagological data, gathered from CT-scans and/or MRI-scans. The compromise between patient’s radiation exposition and resolution along the focus direction plays an important role for the successful production of biological products. Scan detail can be increased with a thinner scanning thickness to obtain the required biological features for replication. On the other hand, a thinner scan thickness requires more scanning slices and therefore, higher exposition time to radiation. Literature shows that a maximum amount of radiation is admissible for humans, requiring an optimized approach concerning the acquisition of internal details of the human body tissues. State-of-the-art scans offer focus resolution in the range of 100 to 200 µm, although such resolution is not used for the patient’s protection. In fact, in clinical practice distance between slices are in the range of 1 to 6 mm. Concerning the AM processes that are able to use biocompatible materials, different layer thicknesses are available upon the final application in spite of the digital layer thickness that was applied during the medical imaging exam. The layer thickness during production also details the mechanical properties of the implant, with an additional aspect that the geometric data is based on information of a different layer thickness. This study intends to discuss the layer thickness used in medical imaging, the layer thickness used in AM systems providing public awareness of the operating gap between medical imaging systems and AM systems. A brief description of the accumulated errors is also presented.eng
