Arbrea Face allows plastic surgeons to create high-quality 3D models of patients quickly and efficiently using an iPad. This feature enhances consultations, surgical planning, and patient engagement by providing an interactive and accurate visualization of facial structures.
Positioning the Patient’s Head for Scanning #
- Ask the patient to sit in a neutral, upright position.
- Ensure the head is centered and aligned proportionally with the iPad’s screen.
- Maintain a steady hand or use a stabilizer for precise scanning.
Why This Matters?
- Ensures accurate proportions for a well-balanced 3D model.
- Helps avoid distortions in the final simulation.
Scanning With the iPad #
- Open Arbrea Face and select the 3D Scan Mode.
- Slowly move the iPad around the patient’s face to capture all angles.
- Follow on-screen prompts to ensure even scanning.
- Make sure to scan frontal, profile, and oblique angles for the best results.
Benefit:
- Provides a realistic and detailed facial model.
- Captures depth and structure accurately, improving simulation precision.
Reviewing the Final 3D Scan #
- Once the scan is complete, the system will generate a 3D model of the patient’s face.
- Rotate and zoom in to examine details and refine any adjustments.
- Ensure proportions and symmetry are accurate before proceeding with simulations.
Why This Feature is Essential?
- Allows surgeons and patients to visualize potential outcomes in 3D.
- Provides a comprehensive base for pre-operative planning and consultations.
Conclusion #
The 3D modeling feature in Arbrea Face simplifies patient visualization and surgical planning with precise facial scanning, interactive model adjustments, and high-quality rendering. By utilizing iPad-powered scanning and real-time 3D visualization, surgeons can enhance consultations and achieve accurate pre-operative planning.
