Craniofacial Applications of Three-Dimensional Laser Surface Scanning

Abstract: Recent innovations in technology have generated a variety of techniques for medical imaging. One of these initially developed for industry is laser surface scanning. Laser surface scanning is a noninvasive method for acquiring three-dimensional (3D) images. In this article, the technology of 3D laser surface scanning is described, and a few applications are reported as it relates to craniofacial research and clinical practice. Advantages and disadvantages of this imaging modality are discussed. Three-dimension… Show more

“…More frequent use of telemedicine, for example, will allow assessment of children in distant communities. 31 Other examples include the use of digital photographs 32,33 and 3-D laser surface scanning 34,35 sent electronically to teams in larger centres.…”

“…However, patients usually evaluate their own soft tissue esthetics on the basis of how they look in a frontal view. Therefore, three-dimensional (3D) imaging methods, such as 3D computed tomography [3][4][5][6] and 3D facial scan images (3D-FSIs), [7][8][9][10][11][12] are used to analyze and evaluate the soft tissues of the entire face.…”

“…We then applied, for the first time, 3-dimensional laser surface scanning for analysis of the 2 masks, according to established technique. 3,4 The laser scanner used (VIVID 700; Konica Minolta Sensing Americas Inc, Ramsey, New Jersey) operates on the principle of a light-stripe triangulation range finder. The subject's facial surface is scanned from top to bottom with a class 2 laser light stripe projected from a distance of at least 1 m. The position of an illuminated surface point relative to the viewpoint is obtained by triangulation.…”
