“…The integration of 3D facial scanning and advanced manufacturing for maxillofacial reconstruction and cosmetic surgical planning, fabrication of patient-specific prostheses and burn wound assessment provide significant advantages compared to traditional processes. 19 These technologies can decrease labor whilst providing increased treatment customization, patient comfort and compliance. 20 The benefits of 3D technologies for maxillofacial applications have been highlighted in the current literature, however, these publications demonstrated the use of expensive scanners, software and 3D printers.…”

Purpose: Three-dimensional (3D) facial scanning is an emerging clinical tool to capture external anatomical features for quantitative assessment and treatment in a wide range of clinical settings. Materials and Methods: In this study, an economical approach for rapid scanning of faces in the clinic was developed and validated to record valuable 3D patient data using smartphone cameras and photogrammetry software. Five novice operators were recruited to watch an instructional video developed on the technique before scanning 20 healthy adult participants. Results: The smartphone-based photogrammetry approach produced scans with 1.3 mm (±0.3 mm) accuracy in comparison to a metrology-rated gold standard device and were 88% (±14%) complete, with no significant difference observed between operators. A moderate to strong intrarater reliability was determined for all novice operators, suggesting that first-use operators can capture consistent scans based on watching an instructional video. Conclusion: Smartphone photogrammetry could provide a rapid, noninvasive and economical method to capture patient morphological data for clinical assessment and personalized device manufacture. Inexperienced operators can quickly learn and utilize smartphone photogrammetry to provide accurate and reliable facial scans, essential for future clinical translation.

Compression garments are elastic clothing with an engineered compression gradient that can be worn on limbs, upper, lower, or full body to use for therapy and sports. This article presents an overview and review on the compression garments and concentrates on the design of compression garments with an appropriate pressure for specific applications. It covers the types of compression garments, fibers and yarns, knitted fabric construction, garment design, an evaluation system, and pressure measurement and modeling. The material properties, fabric properties, pressure modeling, and the garment design system presents the prediction, design, and fabrication of the compression garments. Lastly, the research status and directions are discussed.

“…The basic concept is to surface scan the patient's injured face for a ste reolithography model [8,9]. Based on this model, a custom facial wound chamber/VAC can be made for the preparation of the wound bed for grafting.…”
