The author provides an overview of the new imaging technologies that allow the practitioner to accurately capture the patient’s soft tissue facial morphology and underlying bones and teeth, including details…
This article describes the authors’ course, which takes facial plastic surgeons through specific exercises to demonstrate the esthetic impact of 3D manipulations of the nose and face. The course components…
Recent advancements in computer technologies have propelled the development of 3D imaging systems. 3D surface-imaging is taking surgeons to a new level of communication with patients; moreover, it provides quick and…
This article presents a comprehensive overview of generating a digital Patient-Specific Anatomic Reconstruction (PSAR) model of the craniofacial complex as the foundation for a more objective surgical planning platform. The…
John Pallanch, MD, MS, Guest Editor The 2011 observations that I make in this preface will likely be dated very quickly. We are at an active and vital yet emerging…
3D tools for surgery allow 3D analysis of images in a way that is meaningful to surgeons for increased insight and understanding of a patient’s anatomy. 3D analysis provides a…
