Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Surgical Technology
  • Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

  • Computed tomography (CT) is standard for preoperative head and neck evaluation due to complex anatomy.
  • Neurosurgery routinely uses intraoperative imaging (CT, MR) for therapeutic effect assessment.
  • Maxillofacial surgeons have not widely adopted intraoperative CT for surgical guidance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the clinical significance of intraoperative CT scans in maxillofacial traumatology.
  • To evaluate the ergonomics of using a mobile CT scanner during maxillofacial surgical procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a mobile Philips Tomoscan M scanner.
  • Conducted intraoperative CT scans during maxillofacial trauma surgeries.
  • Focused on evaluating clinical utility and surgeon ergonomics.

Main Results:

  • Intraoperative CT scans demonstrated clinical significance in managing maxillofacial trauma.
  • The use of a mobile CT scanner was evaluated for its ergonomic practicality in the operating room setting.

Conclusions:

  • Intraoperative CT imaging presents a valuable tool for maxillofacial surgeons in trauma cases.
  • Ergonomic considerations for mobile CT scanner use in this context require further investigation.
