How to Capture Complex Cases

Arbrea Suite provides advanced tools to help plastic surgeons capture high-quality images for complex cases, ensuring accurate simulations and improved patient consultations. By following best practices for lighting, image quality, and simulation settings, surgeons can achieve precise pre-operative planning.

Capturing Quality Pictures with the Right Light #

1. Use natural or well-balanced lighting to avoid shadows and glare.
2. Ensure the patient’s face or body is evenly illuminated for accurate simulation results.
3. Avoid harsh direct lights or overexposed backgrounds that may distort image details.

Why It Matters?

• High-quality lighting ensures precise measurements and realistic simulations.
• Reduces errors caused by poor visibility or shadows.

Ensuring the Best Quality for Simulations #

1. Stabilize the camera – Use a tripod or steady hand to avoid blurriness.
2. Capture images at eye level for facial cases and neutral positioning for body simulations.
3. Use the highest resolution available to maintain detail and clarity.

Benefit:

• Ensures more detailed and accurate AI-powered adjustments.
• Provides better visualization for patient discussions.

Creating a New Patient File #

1. Open Arbrea Suite and go to the tabs New Patient & Patient List.
2. Click “Create New Patient” and input necessary details.
3. Save the file to store patient history and simulations for future reference.

Advantage:

• Keeps patient cases well-organized for easy follow-ups.
• Allows surgeons to track simulation progress and adjustments.

Customizing the Procedure’s Settings #

1. Select the type of procedure being simulated (e.g., facelift, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty).
2. Adjust measurement tools, filters, and enhancement settings to match the complexity of the case.
3. Fine-tune parameters for precise modifications.

Why It’s Important?

• Custom settings optimize the simulation experience.
• Helps achieve realistic pre-surgical previews.

Capturing the Patient’s Pictures for Simulation #

1. Take frontal and profile shots for facial procedures.
2. Capture front and angled views for body simulations.
3. Ensure a neutral posture and expression to maintain accuracy.

Benefit:

• Provides the best foundation for AI-based simulations.
• Enhances real-time visualizations for patient consultations.

Conclusion #

Capturing high-quality images for complex cases in Arbrea Suite ensures more accurate simulations, enhanced patient communication, and improved surgical planning. By utilizing proper lighting, high-resolution imaging, and customized simulation settings, surgeons can achieve precise pre-operative assessments.
