[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- 3D facial geometry of patient's head
- timeFrame
- 15 minutes
- description
- The resultant 3D facial geometry of patient's head will be used to construct a 3D digital model which will be used to evaluate the accuracy of the model generated by CT images. In other words, the outcome will be used as a ground-truth for the CT-derived model.
