Abstract:Background: The precise assessment of the perforators of the fibula free flap (FFF) is crucial for minimizing procedure-related complications when harvesting the FFF in patients with maxillofacial lesions.This study aims to investigate the utility of virtual noncontrast (VNC) images for radiation dose saving and to determine the optimal energy level of virtual monoenergetic imaging (VMI) reconstructions in dualenergy computed tomography (DECT) for visualization of the perforators of the fibula free flap (FFF).… Show more
