Abstract
Systems and methods used to perform touchless 3D scanning of a patient's face in the prone position are disclosed. In some embodiments, the systems include a rotatable 3D scanning device to capture 3D spatial data points of the patient's face and a reference frame. 3D digital mesh models are generated from the 3D spatial data points. A patient 3D digital mesh model is registered with a patient 3D model and a reference frame digital mesh model is registered with a reference frame 3D model. The 3D scanning device can include a handheld rotatable 3D scanner member or a mechanically rotatable 3D scanner member.
