This study evaluates the accuracy and repeatability of craniofacial measurements with a 3D light scanner, specifically the EINSTAR scanner, in comparison to traditional caliper measurements for facial anthropometry. Eleven volunteers were assessed by two examiners, one experienced and one inexperienced, who performed direct caliper measurements and indirect measurements using the scanner. Results indicated minimal differences between caliper and scanner results, with overall high accuracy and reliability demonstrated by correlation coefficients. Despite the slightly longer scanning time, the benefits of 3D imaging, including detailed surface mapping and virtual modeling, justify its integration into clinical practice, particularly in maxillofacial surgery and craniofacial assessment. Craniofacial measurements obtained with the EINSTAR scanner showed excellent reliability and accuracy, which qualifies this method for clinical and scientific use.
本研究评估了 3D 光扫描仪（特别是 EINSTAR 扫描仪）在颅面测量中的准确性和可重复性，与传统卡尺测量进行了比较，用于面部人类学研究。11 名志愿者由两位评估员进行评估，一位有经验，一位无经验，他们分别进行了卡尺直接测量和使用扫描仪进行间接测量。结果表明卡尺和扫描仪的结果之间存在微小差异，相关系数显示出整体高度的准确性和可靠性。尽管扫描时间略长，但 3D 成像的优势，包括详细的表面映射和虚拟建模，证明了其在临床实践中的整合是合理的，特别是在颌面外科和颅面评估中。使用 EINSTAR 扫描仪获得的颅面测量值具有出色的可靠性和准确性，这使该方法有资格用于临床和科学用途。
