“…Of these 168 CT examinations, we have made 203 sets of 3-D reconstructions as we reconstructed some cases more than once on different systems. Of these, 132 were reconstructed using a Cemax 1500X system [30], 57 using research software on a VAX 750 at Philips Medical Systems in Best, The Netherlands [31], 9 using the DMI system [32], 1 on the research system at the University College Hospital in London [33], 2 using the Pixar system at San Rafael, California, U.S.A. [34,35], 1 on the Camra system of ISG at Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, and 1 on the MEK Endoplan system in Kiel, Federal Republic of Germany [88].…”

Over the past decade, three-dimensional (3-D) imaging has been developed to such a stage of perfection and to such a level of interactive selective imaging of specific anatomic and pathologic structures that craniofacial surgeons can now use this technique effectively in the planning of complicated reconstructive surgery. In addition, modeling techniques have been devised that can be used in surgical simulation and in the manufacture of implants and prosthetic devices. The technical aspects of 3-D imaging are discussed in relation to their applications in craniofacial surgery, and reference is made to the literature describing these techniques in full detail. The results are illustrated with cases that the authors have processed by means of: (a) a clinical research program that was developed on a general purpose computer which provided full flexibility in changing and improving the reconstruction algorithms (Lobregt algorithms and DEC VAX 750 computer), (b) a system under development (Pixar PICS 2000), and (c) a commercial system (Cemax 1500X). Finally, a number of emerging techniques are discussed such as surgical stimulation (electronic sculpting), and trends such as multimodality imaging.
