Is the degree of facial swelling after dental extraction sufficient to justify the current delays to radiotherapy mask production? A pilot evaluation of post-extraction swelling using 3D photography. McCormick et al.

Facial swelling following dental extraction may not be sufficient in itself to justify the current delays in mask production and subsequent delivery of radiotherapy. Further definitive studies are needed to optimize how dental extractions should be timed within head and neck cancer care pathways.

3D sequential spatial and thermal measurements. L Zou, F Fortune, L Nibali, N Gkranias, N Mardas, N Donos.

A pair of thermal cameras were integrated to a 3dMDface.t system to capture 3D spatial and thermal image at the same time. The captured images were registered and analysed using 3dMDvultus software. An analytical methodology was established to measure the volumes and temperatures in the same region of interest to quantify the changes within the same boundary.
