Tepper. "We can do so
much better than
that."
He says referencing
a 3D virtual image of a
patient's anatomy
while performing
rhinoplasty has "a
tremendous amount
of potential."
Dr. Grossmann
believes that advance-
ments in the imple-
mentation of 3D imag-
ing will continue to
evolve. "Eventually
there will be more
evidence that the
learning is faster, that
the learning is better
or maybe that fewer
errors occur during a
particular surgery or
procedure," he says.
He also points out
that 3D images are
already evolving into
4D virtual renderings
of anatomy. Surgeons
