Summary
Canfield
Area of Science:
- Medical imaging
- Biotechnology
- Facial analysis technologies
Background:
- Three-dimensional (3D) facial imaging is increasingly adopted, replacing traditional 2D methods and anthropometry.
- Canfield Scientific offers various static and portable 3D imaging systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and validate Canfield's Vectra 3D imaging systems based on existing literature.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
- Ten relevant articles were selected for the systematic review.
Main Results:
- Six studies validated static Vectra devices (M5, M3, XT); four studies validated the portable Vectra H1 system.
- All systems demonstrated accurate and reproducible stereophotogrammetric image capture.
Conclusions:
- Canfield's Vectra 3D imaging systems are validated as accurate and reliable tools for clinical applications.
- Minor inaccuracies were noted in perioral region imaging, but overall clinical utility is confirmed.

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
