This 3D model of the thyroid gland with cancer provides a detailed and anatomically accurate representation of the thyroid gland affected by malignant growths. Designed for educational, medical, and research purposes, it highlights both normal thyroid anatomy and the pathological changes associated with thyroid cancer.
Key features:
- Depicts the thyroid gland’s lobes and isthmus with realistic proportions and textures.
- Includes visible nodules or tumors, showcasing various stages and types of thyroid cancer, such as papillary, follicular, or medullary carcinoma.
- Highlights potential anatomical changes, including enlarged glands or lymph nodes, to reflect metastasis.
- Incorporates surrounding anatomical structures, such as the trachea, larynx, and nearby blood vessels, for context.
- Optional internal view showing cellular changes and tumor invasion within the gland.
Applications:
- Medical education to teach the anatomy of the thyroid gland and the impact of cancer on its structure and function.
- Research in endocrinology and oncology for studying thyroid cancer progression, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
- Patient education to provide a clear visual understanding of thyroid cancer and its effects.
The model is optimized for 3D printing and digital visualization, available in standard file formats such as STL and OBJ. This thyroid gland with cancer model is a valuable tool for educators, researchers, and healthcare professionals aiming to understand and explain the complexities of thyroid cancer.
