1.
Three- dimensional imaging allows spatial visualization of skeletal and soft tissue structures; however, visualization without objective measurement capability limits the accuracy of the information.
2.
Validation of this technology with statistically significant methods is required for its useful clinical applications.
3.
Analyze™ distance and volume measurements of different projections of the orbit were consistently comparable with anatomical measurements.
4.
There is a good correlation between Analyze™ and anatomical measurements with regard to orbital volume, with Analyze™ values being smaller; nevertheless, the difference was only 0.6 ml and did not reach statistical significance. Volume measurement is one of the most difficult techniques due to the spatial configuration of the orbit, but the average error is very small representing only 0.6 ml of a 30 ml total orbital volume.
5.
Analyze™ measurements are reproducible with a high degree of certainty, comparing to that of the actual anatomical measures. This is due to the objectivity of the measurements achieved through the Analyze™ program.
6.
Orbital distance and volume measurements with Analyze™ are very accurate and highly reproducible.
