However, minor artifacts appeared in the form of oval endings to the terminal branches of the vascular tree, contrary to the anticipated sharply pointed segments. Unfortunately, selective laser sintering process does not currently permit to present the arterial, venous and urinary systems in distinct colors, hence topographic relationship between the vas-cular and the pelvicalyceal systems is difficult to attain. Nonetheless, the 3D printed model can be used for educational purposes to demonstrate the vast renal vasculature and may also serve as a reference model whilst evaluating morphological anomalies of the intrarenal vasculature in a surgical setting.}, type={Article}, title={A 3D model of the renal vasculature — a joined result of the corrosion casting technique, micro-CT imaging and rapid prototyping technology}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/122441/PDF-MASTER/2021-04-FMC-02-Skrzat-etal.pdf}, doi={10.24425/fmc.2021.140003}, keywords={renal vasculature, corrosion cast, micro-CT, rapid prototyping}, }
