Abstract
Cinematic rendering for virtual anatomy and pathoanatomy in cranio-maxillofacial trauma care
Highlights
In the field of cranio-maxillofacial surgery, radiological imaging, as an adjunct to clinical examination, is the decisive tool in the diagnosis and evaluation of cranio-maxillofacial trauma
Over the course of their treatment, a computed tomography (CT) scan of the skull was performed on each patient and a three-dimensional depiction was generated by means of Volume Rendering
This paper describes initial clinical experiences with this new visualization method and discusses the potential advantages of Cinematic Rendering in comparison to Volume Rendering in the treatment of cranio-maxillofacial bone trauma in the field of craniomaxillofacial surgery
Summary
In the field of cranio-maxillofacial surgery, radiological imaging, as an adjunct to clinical examination, is the decisive tool in the diagnosis and evaluation of cranio-maxillofacial trauma. The cross-sectional views generated thereby—in axial orientation only, due to technical constraints—are post-processed in order to compute the images used in everyday clinical practice. In addition to MPR, there are several other post-processing options, a few of which provide the observer with the possibility of generating three-dimensional images from the initially acquired two-dimensional data sets. In the field of cranio-maxillofacial surgery, these three-dimensional images are regularly used to visualize complex craniofacial injuries and to plan surgical interventions. Cinematic Rendering is a recently introduced post-processing method to generate three-dimensional reconstructions from twodimensional data sets produced by procedures such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. This paper describes initial clinical experiences with this new visualization method and discusses the potential advantages of Cinematic Rendering in comparison to Volume Rendering in the treatment of cranio-maxillofacial bone trauma
