3D Anthropometric Facial Imaging - A comparison of different 3D scanners

Facial Plast Surg Clin North Am. 2022 May;30(2):149-158. doi: 10.1016/j.fsc.2022.01.003.ABSTRACTFacial measurements serve as a valuable tool in the treatment planning of facial plastic surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of standard 3D anthropometric measurements of the face made with one low-cost handheld 3D scanner and one industrial-type mobile 3D scanner. There are clear potential benefits of using 3D measurements by means of new handheld mobile scanners. However, the Sense scanner from the class of inexpensive scanners showed significant limitations in more complex areas such as the lip and nose, whereas proportions could be measured satisfactorily.PMID:35501052 | DOI:10.1016/j.fsc.2022.01.003
