Computer-assisted reconstruction of orbital floor based on cone beam tomography

摘要

We used a navigation system for computer-assisted preoperative planning based on cone beam tomography with virtual reconstruction to obtain symmetry of the orbit and intraoperative control of virtual contours. In operations for reconstruction of the orbital floor this technique offers a reliable intraoperative control in an area of limited exposure and visibility. There was no significant difference in visualisation of anatomical structures between the cone beam tomographic digital imaging and communication (DICOM) data and computed tomographic data. Cone beam tomography seems to be suitable for computer-assisted planning in the management of orbital trauma with reduced costs and less radiation.
