Objective The development of a new cranial imaging system to capture a three-dimensional
(3D) model of an infant's head has been previously reported. The accuracy of this new …

We propose an effective method for manufacturing human anatomical specimens in
response to the shortage of cadaver specimens and the poor simulation results of …

The complexity of plastic surgery procedures often requires visualization of the anatomy in
three dimensions and therefore demands the development of new and innovative teaching …

Cleft lip and palate are one of the most common congenital craniofacial malformations. As
an initial treatment, presurgical orthopedics is considered standard treatment at many cleft …
