Anatomic Analysis of Masseteric-to-zygomatic Nerve Transfer in Rat and Pig Models
Background:. Nerve transfer from the masseteric branch of the trigeminal nerve is a widely performed procedure for facial reanimation. Despite achieving powerful muscle force, clinical and aesthetic results leave room for improvement.

The accuracy of three-dimensional prediction of soft tissue changes following the surgical correction of facial asymmetry: an innovative concept [PDF]
The accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) predictions of soft tissue changes in the surgical correction of facial asymmetry was evaluated in this study. Preoperative (T1) and 6–12-month postoperative (T2) cone beam computed tomography scans of 13 patients ...

Should Modeling Methodology Suppress Anatomic Excellence? [PDF]
See related article, pages 3511–3517. Wardlaw and colleagues1 use modeling to validate noninvasive imaging instead of intra-arterial angiography (IAA) for carotid stenosis. They conclude that duplex ultrasound (DUS) is best. There are not sufficient data with CT angiography (CTA) and MR angiography. Yet carotid CTA gives excellent anatomic depiction,

Optimization of 2D CT Data Sets for Three-Dimensional [PDF]
Computer-generated anatomic modeling using radiologic data is a well-known entity. Currently, state of the art 3D modeling systems lack the variable thresholding, user interactive, capabilities of 3D imaging software.1 We investigated clinical ...

The residual STL volume as a metric to evaluate accuracy and reproducibility of anatomic models for 3D printing: application in the validation of 3D-printable models of maxillofacial bone from reduced radiation dose CT images. [PDF]
BackgroundThe effects of reduced radiation dose CT for the generation of maxillofacial bone STL models for 3D printing is currently unknown. Images of two full-face transplantation patients scanned with non-contrast 320-detector row CT were reconstructed
