Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the three-dimensional (3D) architecture of the cutaneous angiosome.
  • To develop a method for assessing and designing perforator flaps.
  • To visualize perforator blood supply territory and flap design parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Injection of cadavers with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/lead oxide.
  • Computed tomography (CT) scanning before and after injection.
  • 3D reconstruction using Materialise's Interactive Medical Image Control System (MIMICS).
