3D scanning effectively assesses facial asymmetry in clinical practice… Evaluating these differences pre-treatment can guide the selection of therapeutic methods to improve facial asymmetry.
We enrolled 33 patients, comprising 24 men and 9 women, who were affected by cutaneous neoplasm on the nose and underwent excision followed by reconstruction with a flap. For each patient, we performed facial scans before and after surgery.
SHAPE reads in a patient’s 3D photogram, automatically places a set of craniofacial landmarks, allows for their manual confirmation and correction, and automatically computes both a series of standard clinical craniofacial measurements and machine learning-based metrics of head development prior to building an analysis report for upload to the patient’s electronic medical record.
Compared to the sole use of laser, the combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and rhEGF does not significantly enhance scar therapeutic effects. However, it does shorten the recovery period after laser treatment and improves the pore appearance.
Three-dimensional (3D) photography allows for the creation of surface models without the need for radiation and has been validated as reliable and equivalent to CT for calvarial measurements.
The 3D geometric morphometry in OAVS patients could be a useful tool for objective facial asymmetry assessment in patients with OAVS.
In summary, this study will serve as evidence to guide clinicians in deciding whether to perform the T&A on patients prior to functional therapy based on a wide range of objectively and subjectively measured outcomes and provide a reference for multidisciplinary management of OSA with craniofacial alterations in growing children.
The aim of this study was to clarify the hard-soft tissue relationships of the lower 1/3 of the face in skeletal Class II-hyperdivergent patients compared with those in Class I-normodivergent patients using network analysis.
A deep learning-based approach for automated landmark extraction from 3dMD facial photographs was developed and its precision was evaluated. The results showed high precision and consistency in landmark annotation, comparable to manual and semi-automatic annotation methods.
Preoperative baseline breast measurements, age, and BMI can impact bra designs for breast cancer survivors who undergo autologous reconstruction due to size, shape, and symmetry changes. Bra needs of people who undergo autologous reconstruction differ from those who undergo implant-based reconstruction.
