Using Black Bone Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Craniofacial Virtual Surgical Planning: A Comparative Cadaver Study
Conclusions:
This study demonstrates that virtual surgical planning and three-dimensional craniofacial surgical guide creation can be performed using black bone MRI with accuracy comparable to that of CT. This could dramatically reduce radiation exposure of craniofacial reconstruction patients.
