Baptist Health, WKCTC create lung nodule tool for patient education

In partnership with Baptist Health Paducah, WKCTC has developed a 3d lung nodule tool to educate patients about lung cancer screening.

The tool provides a hands-on demonstration for patients and a visual representation of different lung nodules.

Developed with input from WKCTC and multiple departments at Baptist Health Paducah, the tools will be distributed to all Baptist Health hospitals across Kentucky and Indiana for healthcare providers to use as an educational resource.

WKCTC students, led by Sam Arnone, program coordinator for computer manufacturing and machining, will produce 300 tools through milling, routing, cutting, engraving, and 3d printing.

The production of the tools was made possible by a $10,000 donation from the Baptist Health Kentucky Foundation.
