Radiological Evaluation of Craniofacial Anomalies

Surgeons undertaking craniofacial reconstruction often face the problem of inadequate radiological input. In part, this may be due to the radiologist's frequent isolation, like an assembly-line worker putting in a piece of a car and not seeing the final product. When the radiologist is aware of the surgeon's problem and possible operative approaches to a particular anomaly, he is more likely to become interested in this type of work and give a more meaningful evaluation of the radiographs.
