The rotational capabilities of 3D images allow easier interpretation of intramuscular course and branching patterns.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Combining Surgical Theater with conventional CTA in DIEP flap breast reconstruction provides advantages over CTA alone, including high-fidelity visualization of the course of the DIEP vasculature from multiple views with image rotation in space, which may enhance perforator identification. This technology is particularly helpful in identifying candidates for robotic-assisted DIEP flaps, which is particularly dependent on preoperative imaging. The learning curve is shorter than that for interpreting 2-dimensional imaging, and building 3D images is quick, making adoption straightforward. The potential use of multiple surgical services makes the capital expense cost-effective.</p>","PeriodicalId":20149,"journal":{"name":"Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Global Open","volume":"13 6","pages":"e6872"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12165664/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144302654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
