Quantification of Nasal Septal Deviation With Computed Tomography Data.

Background: Despite extensive literature on the classification and management of nasal septal deviation (NSD) for preoperative planning, standardized objective measures to evaluate the NSD severity remains challenging. In this study, we quantitatively analyzed NSD to determine the most predictive two-dimensional (2D) computed tomography (CT)-landmark for overall three-dimensional (3D) septal morphology derived from nasal airway segmentation.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at a large academic center.

The Use of Three-Dimensional Photography and Printing in the Fabrication of a Nasal Prosthesis.

Objective: Facial prosthetic rehabilitation using additive manufacturing technology relies on data acquisition from computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Three-dimensional (3D) photography has become widespread in craniofacial and plastic surgery due to its ability to provide more comprehensive topographical data than radiographic techniques. Despite the rising popularity of 3D photography in preoperative planning, reports on the use of this technology for facial prosthetic rehabilitation are lacking.
