Coloring Outside the Cortex: 3D Printing Anatomic Models for Complex Brain Tumor Surgery
Maggie Lashutka, Biomedical Engineer, Ricoh 3D for Healthcare LLC
March 11, 2026
When you’re a neurosurgeon faced with a complex tumor resection case, the more tools you have at your disposal for pre-surgical planning, the better. Attending neurosurgeon Dr. Marcus Ware, neurosurgery resident Dr. Michelle Miller, Tulane University medical student Smruti Mahapatra and other medical staff at Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans faced a particularly complex brain tumor case that called for thorough planning. Due to the tumor’s left-sided and deep intraventricular location within the brain, multiple attending neurosurgeons with extensive experience in tumor resection looked at the patient’s imaging and suggested different approaches for the case.
