Digital imaging in the fabrication of ocular prostheses.

Several ocular and orbital disorders require surgical intervention that may result in ocular defects. The associated psychological effect of these defects on the patient requires immediate management and rehabilitation intervention by a team of specialists. The role of the maxillofacial prosthodontist in fabricating an ocular prosthesis with acceptable esthetics to restore facial symmetry and normal appearance for the anophthalmic patient becomes essential. This article presents a technique for fabricating ocular prostheses using the advantages of digital photography.

The reliability of "Analyze" software in measuring orbital volume utilizing CT-derived data.

INTRODUCTION: Craniomaxillofacial surgeons require to estimate the orbital volume in a variety of clinical situations. This paper evaluates a new method based on software analysis of computerized tomography (CT) scan data. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Five dried skulls with prosthetic globes and periorbita were non-helically scanned in an Elscint 2400 CT scanner. Images obtained were processed using the "Analyze" software package and results compared to the volume of the intraorbital prosthesis as determined by a volume displacement gravimetric method. RESULTS: Estimates of volume produced by the software varied from the gold standard by 0.06-50.44%, with a mean error of 8.8%. CONCLUSION: Despite the use of a variety of scan protocols it was not possible to obtain results with "Analyze" software which were sufficiently accurate for clinical use.
