Name of journal: Radiographics : a review publication of the Radiological Society of North America, IncAbstract: Facial transplant (FT) is a viable option for patients with severe craniomaxillofacial deformities. Transplant imaging requires coordination between radiologists and surgeons and an understanding of the merits and limitations of imaging modalities. Digital subtraction angiography and CT angiography are critical to mapping vascular anatomy, while volume-rendered CT allows evaluation of osseous defects and landmarks used for surgical cutting guides. This article highlights the components of successful FT imaging at two institutions and in two index cases. A deliberate stepwise approach to performance and interpretation of preoperative FT imaging, which consists of the modalities and protocols described here, is essential to seamless integration of the multidisciplinary FT team. <sup>(c)</sup>RSNA, 2019 See discussion on this article by Lincoln .All authors: Davis AJ, Diaz-Siso JR, Hagiwara M, Lui YW, Moin AS, Plana NM, Prabhu V, Rodriguez ED, Shapiro M, Sliker CWOriginally published: Radiographics. 39(4):1098-1107, 2019 Jul-Aug.Fiscal year: FY2020Fiscal year of original publication: FY2020Digital Object Identifier: Date added to catalog: 2019-06-21
