Abstract

Objective: To test the reliability of 3 dimentional (3D) laser surface scanner for nasal anthropometry.Methods:11 plaster nasal models were measured by 3D laser surface scanner and manual measurement. The data were statistically analyzed. Results:In 9 out of the 10 parameters of nasal anthropometry,the correlation coefficient of the distances and angels measured by the 2 means was 0.856-1.000(P
