“We’re firm believers in providing up-and-coming radiology professionals with the tools and the knowledge they need to help patients for decades to come,” said Brian Bradfield, chief operating officer at Cassling. “Clarkson College is leading that charge with their groundbreaking work in 3D printing and its application to radiologic imaging. Their ability to take CT or MR scan data and translate it into a 3D structure is truly something to behold, and we’re thrilled to play a part in helping students become experts in this groundbreaking technology.”
