3D Imaging Technologies for Facial Plastic Surgery is a wonderful compilation of relevant and timely articles in the field of facial plastic surgery using 3D imaging systems and techniques. Synergism among articles is high with regard to covering the spectrum of the evolution and use of these technologies in the practice of facial plastic surgery.The discipline of modern medical imaging is really quite young, having its landmark launch in the early 1970s with the development of CT scanning. With that advent, imaging became fully digital and 3D. This heralded the beginning of a rich future for imaging in the health care industry that computers and electronic imaging would facilitate and advance. Computers are so embedded in medical imaging that we have almost lost sight of them as the enabling technology, which has made multimodality, multidimensional, multlfac-eted medical imaging possible to do and impossible to be without.
