What is Three-dimensional Visualization of the Craniofacial Patient: Volume Segmentation, Data Integration and Animation about?

## Abstract **__Authors__–**Enciso R, Memon A, Mah J The research goal at the Craniofacial Virtual Reality Laboratory of the School of Dentistry in conjunction with the Integrated Media Systems Center, School of Engineering, University of Southern California, is to develop computer methods to accurately visualize patients in three dimensions using advanced imaging and data acquisition devices such as cone‐beam computerized tomography (CT) and mandibular motion capture. Data from these devices were integrated for three‐dimensional (3D) patient‐specific visualization, modeling and animation. Generic methods are in development that can be used with common CT image format (DICOM), mesh format (STL) and motion data (3D position over time). This paper presents preliminary descriptive studies on: 1) segmentation of the lower and upper jaws with two types of CT data – (a) traditional whole head CT data and (b) the new dental Newtom CT; 2) manual integration of accurate 3D tooth crowns with the segmented lower jaw 3D model; 3) realistic patient‐specific 3D animation of the lower jaw.
