The applications of computer-guided technologies for three-dimensional image analysis provide a unique opportunity to quantify the morphological dimensional changes of the face in a practical and convenient way. Symmetry of the nasolabial area is one of the main factors of facial attractiveness as well as being the main objective of the treatment of cleft lip and palate (CLP). Technological advances in computer-guided visualization modes and their applications to three-dimensional stereophotogrammetry provide more practical opportunities and alternatives for facial analysis. Each study, however, uses different protocols for the acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional images. In addition, each study identifies different anthropometric points and calculates linear and angular measurements with overlapping protocols. Therefore, it is appropriate to define a standardization of the three-dimensional analysis of CLP patients to compare the studies of different research centers. The aim of this report is to propose a protocol to standardize the acquisition and analysis of three-dimensional images to evaluate the three-dimensional changes in the nasolabial area in cleft lip and palate patients undergoing pre-surgical nasoalveolar molding (PNAM).
计算机引导技术在三维图像分析中的应用提供了一个独特的机会，能够以实用且便捷的方式量化面部的形态尺寸变化。鼻唇区域的对称性是面部吸引力的主要因素之一，也是唇腭裂（CLP）治疗的主要目标。计算机引导可视化模式的技术进步及其在三维立体摄影测量中的应用为面部分析提供了更多实用的机会和选择。然而，每项研究在三维图像的采集和分析方面都采用了不同的方案。此外，每项研究识别的人体测量点不同，并且在重叠的方案中计算线性和角度测量值。因此，为了比较不同研究中心的研究，定义唇腭裂患者三维分析的标准化是合适的。本报告的目的是提出一项方案，以规范三维图像的采集和分析，从而评估接受术前鼻牙槽骨塑形（PNAM）的唇腭裂患者鼻唇区域的三维变化。
