NCT ID NCT07557212
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare the accuracy of three facial scanning techniques: a stationary scanner, a handheld scanner, and a mobile phone app. Sixty volunteers will have their faces scanned with each method, and the results will be compared to a traditional mold. The goal is to find the most reliable way to capture facial shapes for people needing facial prosthetics or reconstructive surgery.
