Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue that is open to receiving potential manuscripts in the journal Applied Sciences, with the theme “3D Medical Imaging Diagnosis for Oral and Maxillofacial Applications, Volume II”.
The application of 3D medical imaging has become a popular and advanced technique, and is currently used to assist in diagnosing oral diseases and in maxillofacial surgery, such as in the field of head and neck reconstruction, congenital craniofacial anomaly, traumatic deformity, orthognathic surgery, and so on. By using 3D technology in imaging with virtual surgical planning, one can reduce operation time, avoid post-operative complications, improve surgical accuracy and outcome, and achieve patient satisfaction. Furthermore, 3D printing and model fabrication can be applied to patient consultations or the production of patient-specific implants.
The goal of this Special Issue is to advance the knowledge regarding precision medicine with the application of 3D imaging in oral and maxillofacial surgery. We look forward to receiving your studies reporting the invaluable experiences of 3D technology applications for this Special Issue. With your contributions, we can create an innovative, revolutionary future together.
