[The application study of mimic operation with 3D-cut in maxillofacial bone tumor].
OBJECTIVE
To study the feasibility of guiding operation planning and complication prevention.


METHODS
Ten patients suffer from Maxillofacial bone tumour were examined with spiral CT. Firstly, to get three-dimensional reconstructive image of tumour and other tissues. Secondly, use 3D-cut software to cut off every layer of normal tissue and tumour mass. Lastly, to compare virtual operation with mimic operation in virtual operation process.


RESULTS
Three-dimensional mimic operation clearly displays the relationship between tumor and surrounding tissues, reflect the actual operation condition.


CONCLUSIONS
It is very useful designing operation program and predicting the potential complications before the actual operation.
