[Three-dimensional facial reconstruction of computerized tomography images by computer-aided design: example of an...

Thanks to the medical scanning techniques and the reliability of some applications programs in 3D reconstruction, we are now able to explain an observation methodology based on the example of an anthropology study on Egyptian mummies'heads through a non-destructive proceeding. We have managed to demonstrate the exploration of the cervicofacial anatomy in the three dimensions of space and the possibility of dissociating the different anatomical tissues. The authors would like to point out the various consequences such a methodology may engender in any field.
