3D Scanning in Orthopedics

2026-03-19

3D handheld scanning can aid in diagnosis in a radiation-free, fast, and completely non-invasive manner, which could represent a major advance, particularly in pediatrics.

The technology creates a detailed three-dimensional image of the body’s surface, opening up new possibilities for minimally invasive examinations. A recent video from the University of Pécs showcases the developments shaping the future of medical 3D scanning.

This is particularly true in pediatrics, where minimizing discomfort and risk for young patients is a key priority, so specialists strive to avoid diagnostic procedures involving invasive examinations as much as possible. One new and promising tool for this diagnostic principle and objective is the 3D handheld scanner, which is capable of creating a detailed, three-dimensional image of the body’s surface without using any radiation harmful to the body.

A video from the 3D Printing and Visualization Center at the University of Pécs showcases the developments that are advancing 3D scanning in medicine.
