The ability of Toshiba America Medical Systems' Aquilion One CT system to help plan a full-face transplant will be featured in a presentation next week at the American Roentgen Ray Society's (ARRS) annual meeting in Vancouver.
Dr. Frank Rybicki, director of the Applied Imaging Science Laboratory and director of cardiac CT and vascular CT/MRI at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, will discuss the role that imaging plays in face transplants.
His discussion will include cardiovascular applications of wide-area-detector CT, as well as imaging of key anatomy for surgical planning support by mapping spatial relationships between blood vessels for surgical anastomoses and other facial structures.
