Abstract

Objectives

We explored the potential use of MRI-CT three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction in the extraction of facial fillers.

Methods

In this investigation, pre and postoperative MRI-CT 3D reconstructions were performed on a cohort of 28 patients who underwent filler removal therapy. The efficiency of filler removal in critical facial regions was quantitatively assessed, and patient satisfaction was evaluated using a standardized Likert scale.

Results

The procedural efficacy analysis revealed an average facial filler clearance rate of 96.84%. Patient-reported outcomes demonstrated complete satisfaction (100%, 30/30) with cosmetic results, 96.67% (29/30) complication-free rate, and unanimous improvement (100%, 30/30) in the quality of life.

Conclusion

The 3D MRI-CT fusion images provided precise visualization of the anatomical relationship between filler materials and the facial tissue structures before therapy, highlighting their clinical value.

三维MRI-CT图像融合技术是一种用于面部特定部位填充物溶解和去除的创新策略

目的探讨MRI-CT三维重建技术在面部填充物提取中的应用前景。方法在本研究中，对28例接受填充物去除治疗的患者进行术前和术后MRI-CT三维重建。定量评估面部关键区域填充物去除的效率，并使用标准化李克特量表评估患者满意度。结果手术疗效分析显示，面部填充物平均清除率为96.84%。患者报告的结果显示，美容效果完全满意（100%,30/30），无并发症率96.67%(29/30)，生活质量一致改善（100%,30/30）。结论MRI-CT三维融合图像能准确显示治疗前填充材料与面部组织结构的解剖关系，突出其临床价值。
