“…Paper 3 The scientific basis of this paper [82] was presented previously as two separate congress lectures [83,84], discussing the use of iCAT Classic CBCT equipment. The goal of the first congress lecture [83] was to find a protocol and ideal contrast material concentration for the different mass size in the FOV using dental CBCT.…”

“…This anatomical study [82][83][84] was to define the intraosseous vascular territory (angiosomes [85]) of the facial artery. The clinical issue is whether ipsilateral facial artery anastomosis will guarantee blood supply to the ipsi-and contralateral mandibular symphyses and maxillae in allotransplantation.…”

“…These dental CBCT examinations were also reproducible with these phantoms [83]. On the basis of this preliminary study [83] a predetermined concentration of the Microtrast contrast material solution (Microtrast, Guerbet GmbH, Sulzbach, Germany) was used in the anatomical study of filled vessels [84] as outlined in Paper 3 [82].Paper 4 In this paper [53], discussing Research Topic A and Research Topic C, the same instruments were used as in Paper 2. The MDCT measurements represented the gold standard as in Paper 2.…”

“…The detailed three-dimensional mapping of the angiosomes of the mid-face and the neck are very important because of the rapid increase of requirements in reconstructive surgery and in facial transplantation. Usually for mapping of the angiosomes either blue ink injection in the blood vessels was used or angiography [89].The question was whether it is possible, considering all the benefits, to use the so-called dental CBCT scan for the examination of this vascular system [82][83][84]. …”

“…In summary, it may be said that using this predetermined concentration of the Microtrast contrast material solution (Microtrast, Guerbet GmbH, Sulzbach, Germany) it was possible to decrease the presence of artefacts and detect anastomosis between the angiosomes of right and left facial artery. These results are very useful for preoperative imaging in reconstructive surgery [82][83][84]. …”

The WARM operation mode represents that the CBCT machine was switched on for at least two hours before the scan but no detector calibration was performed. WARM+C WARM+C scan protocol is consistent with the cone beam computed tomography scan with the complete calibration sequence after the warming-up period. The two-hour warming-up period preceded the calibration process. WUP warming-up period 2D 2 dimensional 3D 3 dimensional iv Galen's principal interest was in human anatomy but, from about 150 BC [2], Roman law had prohibited the dissection of human cadavers. Because of this restriction, Galen performed anatomical dissections on living (vivisection) and dead animals, mostly focusing on pigs and primates [3]. This work was useful because the anatomical structures of these animals usually closely mirror those of humans. Galen clarified the anatomy of the trachea, and was the first to demonstrate that the larynx generates the voice [4,5]. In one experiment, Galen used bellows to inflate the lungs of a dead animal. In his work De motu musculorum, Galen explained the difference between motor and sensory nerves, discussed the concept of muscle tone, and explained the difference between agonists and antagonists [5,6].Andreas Vesalius ( This environment, which lasted from the second century (Galenius) to the sixteenth century (Vesalius), developed a strong desire to have the ability to see inside the human body [7]. Development of medical imagingDuring many centuries the only way to visualize the inside of the human body was through dissection. With technical development, scientists had started to investigate the inside of the human body without its opening. In 1881, Alexander Graham Bell attempted to use magnets and sound waves to discover the location of the bullet that eventually killed U.S.President James A. Garfield [8].After a lengthy period, during scientific experiments with various types of vacuum tube equipment, the discovery of X-rays in 1895, by the Bavarian physicist Conrad Röntgen, represented a major breakthrough (Figure 3 A). When X-rays were finally discovered, they found their way to medical applications within months [9]. B C A 3The original discovery by Röntgen, at the Physical Institute, Julius-Maximilian University, Würzburg, Germany, is recorded to be on 8 November 1895 [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. During the discovery, he speculated that a new kind of ray might be responsible for the observation.Since 8 th November was a Friday, instead of relaxing over the weekend, Röntgen took advantage of the time to repeat his experiments. In the following weeks he investigated many properties of the new rays he had temporarily termed 'X-ray'. In fact, he virtually lived in his laboratory during that time. The new X-ray is called the 'Röntgen ray' in many languages [18]. Nearly two weeks after his discovery, he took the very first picture using X-rays of his wife Anna Bertha's hand. When she saw her skeleton she exclaimed 'I have seen my death!' (Figure 3 B and C) [10,18]. Röntgen receive the fir...
