Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

4.6K
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...

DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Area of Science:

  • Plastic surgery
  • Maxillofacial surgery
  • Reconstructive surgery

Background:

  • Optimizing facial contours after maxillomandibular reconstruction often requires adjunctive procedures.
  • Autologous fat grafting and surgical debulking are common techniques used.
  • Standardized methods for quantitative analysis of volumetric changes and quality of life impact are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To illustrate the value of combining objective 3D measurements, clinical assessments, and patient-reported outcomes.
  • To elucidate the benefits of adjunctive procedures in optimizing facial contours and symmetry.
  • To assess the impact of facial symmetry restoration on health-related quality of life.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized two case studies for illustration.
  • Employed objective 3-dimensional (3D) measurements for quantitative analysis.
  • Incorporated clinical assessments and patient-reported outcomes using the FACE-Q questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the utility of a combined approach in assessing outcomes.
  • Provided insights into volumetric changes and facial symmetry restoration.
  • Highlighted the positive impact on health-related quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • A multimodal assessment strategy combining 3D analysis and patient-reported outcomes is valuable.
  • Adjunctive procedures can effectively optimize facial contours and symmetry post-reconstruction.
  • Restoration of facial symmetry significantly improves patient quality of life.
