Abstract
Three dimensional reconstruction images of bony and soft tissue surfaces have improved understanding of complex facial deformities. Applied to CT [computed tomographic] studies of human complex craniofacial abnormalities, this method has delineated abnormal facial soft tissue and bony morphology, facilitated surgical planning and improved quantitative postoperative evaluation. Advanced computer-aided aircraft design techniques were adapted and applied to craniofacial surgical procedure-planning and evaluation on using surface contours obtained from CT scans.
