3D cephalometry
Maxilim - 3D cephalometry contains all features to perform a 3D cephalometric analysis.
This solution is designed to reliably assess the 3D anatomy of your patient´s head (*).
Virtual cephalograms
In Maxilim you virtually position the patient in an X-ray machine to
compute a lateral and frontal cephalogram from the CT data. The
marriage of the 3D information with the conventional 2D approach is
particular to the Maxilim approach.
3D reference frame
An anatomically based 3D
reference frame is set up. The reference frame is based on Nasion and
Sella. This reference frame is defined as a 3D extension of Profitt´s
approach.
Landmarks and planes
Landmarks can be indicated on
either the virtual X-rays, on the bone or skin surface or on a reslice
through the CT volume. This allows you to indicate landmarks in an
accurate and repeatable way. Anatomical planes are automatically
defined and visualized based on the indicated landmarks. New landmarks
and planes can be added, you can define your own analysis.
Measurements
When all landmarks are indicated,
Maxilim presents the measurements defined in your analysis in a clear
layout. All measurements can be visualized in the 3D scene. Reports to
print or to include in your favorite patient record system are
available. Export of the results to Excel for further processing is
also possible.
