Abstract
Three dimensional (3D) virtual models for neurosurgery have demonstrated substantial clinical utility, especially for neuro-oncological cases. Computer-aided design (CAD) modelling of radiological images can provide realistic and high-quality 3D models which neurosurgeons may use pre-operatively for surgical planning. 3D virtual models are useful as they are the basis for other models that build off this design. 3D virtual models are quick to segment but can also be easily added to normal neurosurgical and radiological workflow without disruption. Three anatomically complex neuro-oncology cases that were referred from a single institution by three different neurosurgeons were segmented and 3D virtual models were created for pre-operative surgical planning. A face-to-face interview was performed with the surgeons after the models were delivered to gauge the usefulness of the model in pre-surgical planning. All three neurosurgeons found that the 3D virtual model was useful for presurgical planning. Specifically, the virtual model helped in planning operative positioning, understanding spatial relationship between lesion and surrounding critical anatomy and identifying anatomy that will be encountered intra-operatively in a sequential manner. It provided benefit in Multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and patient education for shared decision making.3D virtual models are beneficial for pre-surgical planning and patient education for shared decision making for neurosurgical neuro-oncology cases. We believe this could be further expanded to other surgical specialties. The integration of 3D virtual models into normal workflow as the initial step will provide an easier transition into modalities that build off the virtual models such as printed, virtual, augmented and mixed reality models.

Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to provide sex-matched three-dimensional (3D) statistical shape models of the mandible, which would provide cephalometric parameters for 3D treatment planning and cephalometric measurements in orthognathic surgery. Materials and Methods The subjects used to create the 3D shape models of the mandible included 23 males and 23 females. The mandibles were segmented semi-automatically from 3D facial CT images. Each individual mandible shape was reconstructed as a 3D surface model, which was parameterized to establish correspondence between different individual surfaces. The principal component analysis (PCA) applied to all mandible shapes produced a mean model and characteristic models of variation. The cephalometric parameters were measured directly from the mean models to evaluate the 3D shape models. The means of the measured parameters were compared with those from other conventional studies. The male and female 3D statistical mean models were developed from 23 individual mandibles, respectively. Results The male and female characteristic shapes of variation produced by PCA showed a large variability included in the individual mandibles. The cephalometric measurements from the developed models were very close to those from some conventional studies. Conclusion We described the construction of 3D mandibular shape models and presented the application of the 3D mandibular template in cephalometric measurements. Optimal reference models determined from variations produced by PCA could be used for craniofacial patients with various types of skeletal shape.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent diagnostic and technical advancements in the field of neurosurgery, surgical treatment for tumors in the skull base region, ie, skull base tumors (SBTs), remains a challenge. OBJECTIVE To validate the utility of presurgical simulation for the treatment of SBTs by 3-dimensional multifusion volumetric imaging (3D MFVI), including volume rendering and image fusion, to combine data from various imaging modalities. METHODS We performed presurgical simulation using 3D MFVI for 21 SBTs (acoustic neurinomas, jugular neurinomas, meningiomas, chordomas, and others) in 20 patients. We collected targeted data from computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography or magnetic resonance angiography, and digital subtraction angiography and combined these data using image-analyzing software. The simulations were used to assess the 3D relationships among the microsurgical anatomical components, the appropriate surgical approach, and the resectable parts of the tumor. Finally, we compared the results of the simulation with the operative results. RESULTS In all patients, the 3D MFVI techniques enabled adequate visualization of the microsurgical anatomy and facilitated presurgical simulation, thereby allowing the surgeons to determine an appropriate and feasible surgical approach. All procedures to open the bone window were performed in accordance with the simulations, except for the surgical exposure of the acoustic canal for 2 acoustic neurinomas. In 3 of the 21 cases, tumor removal could not be performed according to the simulations because of unexpected bleeding or other restrictions. CONCLUSION The 3D MFVI technique was of a sufficiently high quality to enable visualization of the 3D microsurgical anatomy. This promising method can facilitate determination of the most appropriate approach and safe and precise surgical procedures for SBTs.

Abstract
AIM To develop a 3D CT cephalometric analysis for maxillary growth evaluation of sheep fetuses operated in utero, and to evaluate the reliability of this analysis by comparing it with a direct cephalometric analysis on dry skulls. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five skulls of operated sheep fetuses were used, which after preparation were CT scanned and a 3D reconstruction was performed. A cephalometric analysis was performed directly on the dry skulls as well as on the reconstructed 3D CT images. In total, 56 linear distances were measured. In order to access the error of the method, the procedure was repeated after a 2 week interval. RESULTS The comparison between the direct cephalometric and the 3D CT analysis revealed that only 5 variables were significantly different. The evaluation of the error of method revealed that 7 variables of the direct cephalometric analysis and none of the 3D CT analysis differed significantly. CONCLUSIONS According to the results of this study, it can be concluded that a cephalometric analysis on 3D CT reconstructed images of the skulls includes fewer identification errors and seems to be an accurate and reliable method that could be regarded at least as equivalent to conventional cephalometry.

Abstract
One of the main objectives of our 3-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted functional endoscopic sinus surgery was to design a computer-assisted 3D approach to the presurgical planning, intraoperative guidance, and postoperative analysis of the anatomic regions of the nose and paranasal sinuses. Such an extremely powerful approach should allow better insight into the operating field, thereby significantly increasing the safety of the procedure. The last step to implementing the technology in the operating room was to connect the computer workstations and video equipment to remote locations by using a high-speed, wide-bandwidth computer network. During patient preparation, the surgeon in the operating room consulted remote experienced and skillful surgeons by viewing CT images and 3D models on computer workstations. The surgeon and consultants used software for CT image previews and 3D model manipulations on top of collaboration tools to define the pathosis, produce an optimal path to the pathosis, and decide how to perform the real surgical procedure. With tele-flythrough or tele-virtual endoscopy rendered through the use of 3D models, both surgeons can preview all the characteristics of the region (ie, anatomy, pathosis) and so predict and determine the next steps of the operation. This ensures greater safety thanks to the operation guidance and reduces the possibility of intraoperative error. The duration of the teleconsultation is thus shortened, which may prove the greatest benefit of tele-3D computer-assisted surgery. If this method were used, clinical institutions would spend less money for telesurgical consultation.

Abstract
This review article aims to describe and discuss the imaging techniques most commonly used in medicine and dentistry to obtain three-dimensional images of the craniofacial complex. Three-dimensional imaging techniques provide extensive possibilities for the detailed and precise analysis of the whole craniofacial complex, for virtual (on-screen) simulation and real simulation of orthognathic surgery cases on biomodels before treatment, as well as for the detailed evaluation of the effects of treatment. Laser scanning in combination with the stereolithographic biomodeling seems to be a very promising combination for three-dimensional imaging, although there is still considerable room for improvement. Constant efforts should be made in the direction of developing and enhancing the existing techniques as well as exploring the potential for developing new methods based on emerging sectors of technology.

Abstract
The outcome of complex craniofacial operations is critically dependent on careful and accurate preoperative planning. Recent advances in computer technology enable the surgeon to do surgical simulations directly on to a computer terminal. We describe the clinical application of a public domain-based computer-aided system in craniofacial surgery. Operation planning was based on clinical investigations and radiological images, with particular use of a virtual three-dimensional surgical simulation. Three patients with complex craniofacial malformations were admitted for orbital correction. Surgical simulation defined numerically the extent of bone movements and the extent of resection areas. Operations were guided by the virtual planning. The outcome was compared with the planning to assess the accuracy of the operative correction. Our first experience confirms that computer-assisted simulation is a reliable and useful tool that improves surgical planning and helps to evaluate the surgical outcome.

Abstract
Foreign bodies in paranasal sinuses are found quite infrequently. They are usually detected after various types of head trauma and most commonly occur as a consequence of improper handling of firearms or explosives. In countries at war, eg, during the war in Croatia, adults and children were almost equally exposed to these injuries. The diagnosis should be based on results from precise computer tomography (CT) scanning in axial and coronal sections, and, using these data, tissues of different densities at these anatomical locations can be differentiated. The possibility of exact preoperative, noninvasive visualization of the spatial relationships of anatomic and pathologic structures with 3-dimensional (3D) computer-assisted diagnosis and intraoperative navigational techniques allows the surgeon to achieve a considerable advantage in the preoperative examination of the patient and to reduce the risk of intraoperative complications, all by the use of virtual surgery (VS) or virtual diagnosis. The expected contribution of the mentioned computer-assisted surgical technique manifests itself in defining the most appropriate mode of CT scanning of the head to design the 3D operating field model, and the possibility of active and dynamic 3D visualization of the desired anatomical regions is realized. 3D reconstruction of anatomic units becomes a routine preoperative procedure, providing a highly useful and informative visualization of the regions of interest, and, thus, advancing the definition of geometric information on anatomical contours of the 3D model by the transfer of so-called image pixel to contour pixel.
