Guide

For the clinical team

Set up from the CT or MRI report

Start with normal anatomy. Use the CT, MRI or EUS report to show where a tumour in the pancreas is and how big it is, then show the operation your team has discussed. Initial tumour settings are examples: replace them with the report details. One tumour is illustrated.

Tumour

Tumour on the model

Changing a tumour setting below also adds it.

Part of the pancreas

Longest diameter mm

Use the size on CT, MRI or EUS, as written in the report.

Blood vessel contact described in the reportShows the vessel in purple. The picture does not judge what this means for treatment.

A stent in the bile ductShows a stent placed to keep the bile duct open.

Part, size and vessel contact come from the report. The pancreas’s shape, the tumour’s rounded shape and the vessels are schematic. Spread to the liver, lymph nodes or elsewhere is not shown.

Views and layers

Use Whole body, Abdomen and Pancreas to move closer in the same scene. The stomach and bowel are see-through so the pancreas can be seen behind them. Show / hide controls the body outline, bowel, blood vessels, nearby organs, spine, measurements and labels.

Slice at the tumour

A schematic slice through the body at the tumour’s level, seen from the feet like a CT scan: front at the top, the patient’s right on your left. This is not the patient’s scan.

In plain words

Key measurements

Tumour values come from the report. The pancreas and vessels are an average adult’s; the tumour’s shape is simplified.

This is a simplified teaching model of one tumour in the pancreas. It does not interpret scans, diagnose, stage cancer, judge whether it can be removed or predict treatment effects. Spread to the liver or elsewhere, cysts and more than one tumour are not shown. Important information · Nothing is saved.
