Abstract
Precision imaging in medicine using ultrasound, X-rays, MR, CT and PET scans is generally of the highest importance in patient management. These technologies are often relied upon as integral components for quantitative assessment of the patient’s initial presentation and progress. By contrast, initial assessment and recording outcomes of aesthetic procedures is largely limited to 2D photography and subjective feedback from the patient. In this report, the authors provide insight into an Australian Government-funded four-part research program that aims to produce: (1) A high definition three-dimensional imaging system that produces quantitative assessment of outcomes in facial rejuvenation that is costeffective, user-friendly, and time-efficient; (2) A predictive modeling of potential outcomes prior to treatment derived from real data; (3) A high definition threedimensional imaging system that illustrates changes in facial movements in response to facial rejuvenation treatments; (4) A predictive modeling of dynamic movements of the facial features as a response to a planned treatment program derived from real data.
Highlights
The importance of replacing 2D photography with 3D imaging in aesthetic procedures may not be as apparent as it should be
The limitations and complexities of 2D photography are well known by professional and amateur photographers. Some understanding of this can be readily comprehended by the lay-person reviewing images from a professional photo shoot
It can be concluded that the quantitative analysis of volumetric facial rejuvenation, both at the site of injection and distant from it, is measurable using engineering-quality threedimensional structure light video scanning
Summary
The importance of replacing 2D photography with 3D imaging in aesthetic procedures may not be as apparent as it should be. The limitations and complexities of 2D photography are well known by professional and amateur photographers. Some understanding of this can be readily comprehended by the lay-person reviewing images from a professional photo shoot. Other auspicious occasions often involve the employment of professional photographers who proceed to take multiple shots of persons in identical poses. Each image has identifiable differences, albeit subjective and subtle. Even taken almost simultaneously, are identical and the factors causing the differences are not always attributed to the subject. Following a family photo-shoot, there will be a selection process to determine the ’best shot’ to display as the framed memory following critical review of similar alternatives of the same subject
