Abstract:

Objective To evaluate significance of fast reconstruction of bones and blood vessels in maxillofacial region on maxillofacial region operation. Methods 2 health volunteers and 2 patients suffered from maxillofiacial fracture performed CT scan with the thickness of 0.6 mm, followed by 3D reconstruction after transforming the CT data (Dicom data) into Mimics 10.01 and 3D-Doctor4.0. Results This method demonstrated clearly the 3D complex anatomy of bones and blood vessels in maxillofacial region, especially the distribution of blood vessels. By altering the viewing axis, the structures can be viewed and analyzed, using the drawing and deleting way, while, the location and motion condition of structures were showed clearly. Conclusions The 3D-models are useful for surgical design and perform of maxillofacial region operation.
