Kufanele sibuyele emuva onyakeni we-1895 ukuze sazi ukuzalwa ngephutha kwalokho esikwaziyo namuhla njenge-X-ray nakho konke ukunikela kwakho okukhulu emkhakheni wezokwelapha, ukuze siqonde kangcono umzimba womuntu futhi sisize ekuhlolweni okungenzeka.
Ngokuqondile, ukutholakala kwayo kwavela nini UWilhelm Röntgen, isazi sefilosofi saseJalimane esasikhaliphile, wayesebenza ocwaningweni oluhlobene nenqubo yokukhishwa kukagesi kugesi ohlanjululwayo. Ngaleso sikhathi wavele wahlangana nohlobo olusha lwemisebe, ebona ngawo lowo mzuzu amandla amakhulu ababengaba nawo emkhakheni wezokwelapha, hhayi ngeze, ngenxa yale misebe emisha, wayekwazi ukubona ingaphakathi lomzimba ophilayo.
Baningi abantu asebevele bacabanga ukuthi ukuphrinta kwe-3D kungabhekwa njengobuchwepheshe obukwazi ukuguqula umuthi wamanje.
Ngemuva kwalokhu, baningi abantu abafanelekile emkhakheni asebevele babiza ukuphrinta kwe-3D a ubuchwepheshe obukwazi ukuguqula umhlaba wezokwelapha njenge-X-ray ngaleso sikhathi. Okwamanje, iqiniso ukuthi usemningi umsebenzi okusamele wenziwe, ikakhulukazi ukuqonda ukuthi yiziphi izindawo ezithile ukusetshenziswa nokwethulwa kokuphrinta kwe-3D okungathakazelisa ngempela futhi okungekho.
Ukulalela izitatimende zikadokotela UFrank Rybicki, OyiChief of Medical Imaging esibhedlela i-Ottawa kanye noProfesa kanye noSihlalo weRadiology eNyuvesi yase-Ottawa:
Ukuba nohlelo lokuphrinta lwe-3D kubeka izithombe zezokwelapha enkabeni yesigaba se-radiology samazwe omhlaba. Ukuphrinta kwe-3D ubuchwepheshe obukhula ngokushesha kunabo bonke emkhakheni wezokwelapha namuhla, ngamathuba ahlukahlukene.
Ukuvela kokuphrinta kwe-3D kufana kakhulu neMRI eminyakeni eyi-15 eyedlule, lapho ngiqeda ukuhlala kwami, lapho ubuchwepheshe kwakudingeka bufinyelele khona. Manje, ubuchwepheshe bungahlangabezana nezidingo zezokwelapha ngamathuba amakhulu.
