Advanced Imaging and Preoperative MR-Based Cinematic Rendering Reconstructions for Neoplasms in the Oral and Maxillofacial Region
This case study highlights the use of cinematic rendering (CR) in preoperative planning for the excision of a cyst in the oral and maxillofacial region of a 60-year-old man. The patient presented with a firm, non-tender mass in the right cheek, clinically suspected to be an epidermoid cyst. Conventi...

| description | This case study highlights the use of cinematic rendering (CR) in preoperative planning for the excision of a cyst in the oral and maxillofacial region of a 60-year-old man. The patient presented with a firm, non-tender mass in the right cheek, clinically suspected to be an epidermoid cyst. Conventional imaging, including dental magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols, confirmed the lesion’s size, location, and benign nature. CR reconstructions, combining advanced algorithms and novel skin presets, allow for the generation of highly realistic, three-dimensional visualizations from conventional imaging datasets. CR provided an enhanced, detailed depiction of the lesion within its anatomical context, significantly improving spatial understanding for surgical planning. The surgical excision was performed without complications, and histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of a benign epidermoid cyst with no evidence of dysplasia or malignancy. This case demonstrates the potential of CR to refine preoperative planning, especially in complex anatomical regions such as the face and jaw, by offering superior visualization of superficial and deep structures. Thus, the integration of CR into clinical workflows has the potential to lead to improved diagnostic accuracy and better surgical outcomes. |
