The diagnostic power of 3D imaging

Dr. Gaur had the kind of patient who was a bit of a flight risk. With a track record of only partially following through with treatments and not showing for follow-ups, he knew the patient’s condition had to have become extreme for him to even be in the chair.

Based on the patient’s 2D images, Dr. Gaur recommended a 2-part surgery. The patient, however, asked if there was any way they could accomplish it in one – and given the patient’s history, Dr. Gaur wanted to try.

You’ll see:

• The initial 2D images that led Dr. Gaur to recommend a 2-part surgery
• The 3D scan and subsequent evaluation that led him to be sure they could accomplish it in one
• The 3D visuals he shared with the patient to take him from skeptical and unsure to confidently moving forward with treatment
