Atlas of Virtual Surgical Planning and 3D Printing for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery

by Alessandro Tel (ed.), Massimo Robiony (ed.) This book is the first comprehensive atlas dedicated to virtual surgical planning and 3D printing in cranio-maxillo-facial surgery. As the field rapidly evolves, this atlas serves as an essential resource, offering a unified learning platform with detailed examples of virtual surgical planning across various anatomical regions. Each clinical case is meticulously categorized, guiding readers through the intricacies of radiological acquisition protocols, computational design methods, and surgical planning strategies, culminating in 3D printing applications and surgical outcomes. Key concepts explored include point-of-care 3D printing, engineering principles, and the integration of artificial intelligence in surgical planning. Esteemed authors and leading opinion leaders delve into these topics, providing insights into the regulatory aspects crucial for point-of-care laboratories. These labs are increasingly vital in hospitals worldwide, showcasing the potential for advanced case studies using cutting-edge medical software. This atlas is indispensable for a diverse audience, including students, postdoctoral fellows, cranio-maxillo-facial surgeons, neurosurgeons, ENT surgeons, plastic surgeons, bioengineers, clinical engineers, and industry representatives. It not only equips medical professionals with the skills necessary for modern surgical planning but also offers guidance to companies involved in designing and manufacturing medical devices.
