Varvara Koneva , Artec 3D then merge it with the rest . With Leo , we stop if the person has moved , but it ’ s okay because Leo would automatically merge the images and we can go on with the scanning and finish it . This is a very valuable feature ,” said one of the medical specialists involved .
Another unexpected advantage was seen when Leo ’ s flashing LED lights were turned off . “ When we switch off the flash in Eva , there is no light [ from the scanner ] whatsoever ,” a Romans Ferrari expert elaborated . “ There is an enormous advantage with Leo – we saw it just this morning when we scanned a little girl . Even when the flash was off , some lights remained , she stayed focused on those lights and followed the lens [ with her eyes ]. Because of this , we find Leo particularly interesting , especially for scanning children .”
Healing that ’ s more than physical recovery
Undoubtedly , burn injuries have a profound and long-lasting impact on a human ' s mental health and physical well-being . Needless to say , if it is a child that suffered a severe burn , the painful experience intensifies dramatically . In this case , the most advanced treatment timely available could not only reduce pain and boost healing but also bring children back to life by restoring their emotional energy .
" As healthcare professionals , we need to reinvent ourselves every day for the sake of patients . 3D scanning is a real medical revolution , since beyond participating in physical recovery , it contributes to improving the quality of life and giving to each child the strength and confidence they need to recover ," said Joël Lhermenault , Director of the Centre Romans Ferrari .
Artec 3D scanners are not new to groundbreaking paediatric care , be it helping to give new ears to young microtia patients , creating helmets for children with brain-related neurological conditions , customising 3D-printed prostheses , or designing the world ’ s finest kids ’ respirator masks – it never fails to provide precision , speed , and comfort .
What do all these projects have in common ? The idea is that 3D technology brings support , change , and hope every child needs to thrive . �
