Successful defense of dissertation: Lukas Jürgensen researches individualized tumor care with 3D printing and navigation
We would like to congratulate Lukas Jürgensen on successfully defending his doctoral thesis at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Münster. His thesis, entitled “The development and evaluation of a process-oriented concept for the individualized care of tumor patients in orthopedics using 3D printing and navigation,” was supervised by Dr. Martin Schulze and Prof. Walter Heindel.
The dissertation focused on the question of how modern 3D printing and navigation techniques can be used to make the care of orthopedic tumor patients more individualized and safer. Lukas Jürgensen developed a process-oriented concept that focuses on patient safety and quality assurance. Using real CT data, he was able to show that patient-specific solutions can be implemented more precisely and potential sources of error can be systematically reduced.
We are delighted that Lukas Jürgensen will remain with our team as a resident physician and will continue to actively shape research into the use of additive manufacturing in orthopedics in the future.
We are proud of this outstanding achievement and wish Lukas all the best for his future scientific and professional career!
