However, the traditional method of organ transplantation is a gold standard treatment option for life-saving, dependent upon a donor’s availability. The scarcity of organ donors and the risk of graft rejection is mainly associated with adverse immune responses. Additive manufacturing, such as bioprinting, is one of the most advanced and state-of-the-art techniques that are being utilized for generating tissue engineering construct and in-vitro disease models. Three-dimensional bioprinting associate in creation of extracellular matrix (ECM), such as microenvironments for cells and computer-aided design (CAD) modification of planned tissue morphology. Herein, formulation of suitable bio-ink composition with optimized gelation kinetics for in-situ immobilization of cells with high cell viability is the utmost priority for bio-fabrication.

Single sliceanalysis is inappropriate to determine the lesion’s size and volume. Hence, the MRI sequence is used to segment the lesions.Following segmentation, we view the MRI 2D image in 3D to look for lesions, or aberrant tissue, in the brain. The lesion isthen visualized by performing clipping. This research suggests segmenting brain tumors automatically and even provides a3D visualization for a more thorough study.
