The possibility of using computer-aided design as a tool for the planning and simulation of facial reconstruction surgery is discussed and has been shown to be feasible. Methods of acquiring the essential measurements on the facial surface and the underlying bone structure in a computer-compatible form are described, including a new approach which has been implemented using a system of fanned laser beams and a television camera for data acquisition. A mathematical analysis of the properties of this kind of imaging system is given. Finally the requirements of a complete aid to surgery system based on this approach are outlined and plans for the implementation of such a system are described.
本文讨论了将计算机辅助设计用作面部重建手术规划和模拟工具的可能性，并已证明其可行性。文中描述了以计算机兼容形式获取面部表面和潜在骨骼结构基本测量值的方法，包括一种使用扇形激光束系统和电视摄像机进行数据采集的新方法。给出了对这种成像系统特性的数学分析。最后概述了基于此方法的完整手术辅助系统的要求，并描述了实施该系统的计划。
