Patient specific 3D tissue mimicking gels

According to The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), patient specific modeling (PSM) is gaining attention from research groups because of its improvements in medical diagnosis and that it can predict what therapies and surgical procedures are needed for individual patients. Patient specific modeling takes a patient´s CT or MRI data and develops it into a computational patient specific model. One important aspect of designing medical devices that utilize microwave and electromagnetic fields is the in vitro testing stage where a gel that mimic the human tissues is used. Currently, generic tissue mimicking gels have been used for testing medical devices and not PSM gels.
