Figure 3

Symmetry measurement of the reconstructed mandible using imaging analysis. A: Measurement of the differential area. The mandibular contours from both the reconstructed and unaffected sides were traced, and then the tracings were overlaid. The absolute value of the area contained by the two contour lines was defined as the differential area. B: Measurement of the differential angle. The mandibular angles from the unaffected and reconstructed mandibles were measured. The absolute value of the difference between the two angles was defined as the differential angle.
