“Markerless Tracking is in one word ‘Amazing’; it educates both patients and doctors. I can show patients how they will look and what changes will occur. Then, after the surgery, I can look at my results and see what if anything I can improve relative to technique or results.”
”
Tiago Baptista Fernandes, MD,Dr. Tiago Baptista Fernandes on Canfield’s VECTRA®Up ClinicView all VECTRA Testimonials“
I was surprised. Using VECTRA reduces the time for my consultations. Rather than having to explain to a patient repeatedly about the limitations of her anatomy and what I can realistically achieve, I can show her the actual possibilities in 3D.

“
The highest available standard in medical photography and skin analysis tools, as provided by Canfield Scientific, has been the foundation of my cosmetic dermatology practice from its start.
”
“
Showing a client before and after images in 2D is good, but 3D is much more powerful. The number one thing compelling them to come in is the ability to see their personal results in 3D. Seeing themselves is what closes the deal.

Clark Schierle, MD, PhD, FACS,Director of Aesthetic SurgeryNorthwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, S.C.View all VECTRA Testimonials“
I am so glad that I was introduced to the magnificent VECTRA. I have been utilizing VECTRA technology for 3 years, and it has made a huge upgrade to my clinic. VECTRA is extremely helpful during the consultation - both for operative planning as well as for educating patients. This leads to a more clear and reliable doctor-patient relationship.
”
“
An informed patient is the best patient. VECTRA and VISIA are great educational tools. They can get patients excited but also manage their expectations.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D is a huge advantage in my practice. My staff loves it. The patients appreciate it. The doctors in the hospital talk about it. It’s so integral to my daily practice that I don’t really know the world without it.

Gary Tuma, MD, FACS,View all VECTRA Testimonials“
“I began using VECTRA technology in 2005 while I was a plastic surgery resident. VECTRA 3D images have been an invaluable tool for me while I’m constructing a game plan for complex surgeries. It improves our chances for good outcomes and allows us to objectively measure our options.”
”
“
VECTRA 3D imagery makes patients much more comfortable with their decision to proceed with surgery and gives me a better sense of what’s going to work before surgery so the patient spends less time in surgery. I use the VISIA surface and subsurface imaging for the skin care portion of my practice to educate patients on the overall health of their skin and track their improvements with treatment.
”
“
I do a lot of breast augmentation and secondary breast surgery. VECTRA® has proven to be invaluable when dealing with asymmetry, and helps the patient decide on the implant size that will let them achieve their goals. For rhinoplasty procedures as well, it's been a great adjunct to my consultations and surgical planning.
”
Jennifer L. Walden, MD, FACS,Board Certified Plastic SurgeonWalden Cosmetic Surgery & Laser CenterView all VECTRA Testimonials“
VECTRA® 3D is a great tool to help the patient and surgeon arrive at a mutual understanding of surgical goals. My patients appreciate the ability to see what their outcomes can be, using their own 3D photographs, and it gives them the confidence to move forward. And it makes my practice distinctive in terms of what I want my reputation to be.
”
“
My objective is to give patients what they're looking for -- something that matches their body. When prospective patients can see an achievable outcome beforehand, and like what they see, then I know I'm going to have a happy patient when we're done with surgery. I believe that surgeons who use VECTRA 3D are offering their patients a valuable service.
”
“
Prospective breast augmentation patients see the Sculpt My Dream simulations on my website, and the first thing they ask when they come in is whether they can be photographed for their own VECTRA 3D simulations. This has created excitement, and a substantially improved mechanism for me to communicate potential outcomes with my patients.
”
“
Today's patients expect clear and accurate communications regarding the results we can achieve. That's why I rely on VECTRA® 3D aesthetic simulation for my consultations. I've tried all the 3D systems on the market to see how they would perform in my practice, and VECTRA is head and shoulders above the rest.
”
Michael R. Schwartz, MD, FACS,View all VECTRA Testimonials“
I have been using VECTRA® 3D for three years and it has absolutely transformed my practice. The patients benefit by seeing their results prior to surgery, the surgeon benefits through improved surgical planning and there are obvious marketing benefits for my practice.
”
“
Canfield's VECTRA® 3D face and body imaging system with Sculptor's amazing modeling tools sets the standard for 3D imaging. No other system is as feature rich or even comes close to matching image quality and accuracy. It was the only choice for our practice since we only use the best technology.
”
“
I saw VECTRA at the ASPS meeting when it first came out, and immediately realized the implications. This was going to change, even revolutionize, the consultation process, improving patient communications and assuring that we’re on the same page in terms of what they want and what we can do. Today, I don’t know how you could do a consultation without it.
”
“
As an educational tool, VECTRA's® surgical simulations encourage communication between the physician and the patient. In breast augmentation, what really matters is whether the patients understand, accept, and take responsibility for their decisions. For both aesthetic and reconstructive procedures, VECTRA contributes to this understanding easily and effectively.
”
“
I have found VECTRA® 3D to be a valuable consultation tool for breast augmentation as well as reconstruction. Where patients would benefit from a mastopexy, there is no better way of showing them the expected result. And it's essential to a discussion about asymmetry, which we find to some degree in almost every patient.
”
“
I brought the VECTRA® in with the other partners kicking and screaming, saying that it was never going to help them and wouldn't be worth the cost. And I can tell you that they are now VECTRA's biggest advocates. None of us would want to go back to the way we worked before. I can't believe that I waited this long to incorporate it into our practice.
”
“
If I had to pick one device that has the greatest benefit to the practice and the patient, it would definitely be VECTRA® 3D. It helps my reconstruction patients move forward when they see that I will be able to restore their breasts. You can literally see their faces change from despair to hope.
”
“
VECTRA 3D is the centerpiece of our aesthetic consultations, and the ViewMyConsult web portal is invaluable for sharing 3D simulations with my patients while keeping track of their interest.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D has definitely brought more patients, increased my conversion rate and improved patient satisfaction. The staff at Canfield's European office in Amsterdam is extremely helpful and their US based technicians can log in to my system remotely whenever I need them. They are always there, and I appreciate that in a company.
”
“
For me, VECTRA® 3D is less about a competitive advantage and less about closing the sale, and more about educating our patients in the best possible way. I also think that it has greatly improved my ability to plan for procedures and that has led to improved efficiencies in the operating room.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D has greatly improved my ability to communicate with patients about their anatomy, surgical options, and expected outcomes. When patients have the opportunity to see the potential results of procedures using their own 3D photograph, they are more relaxed and confident in their decisions.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D has been extremely useful in helping me understand the patients' expectations. And when you can educate them about what can and can't be accomplished, you're going to have a higher percentage of satisfied patients. It gives them a comfort level with the decision, and the fact that we've gone the extra mile to educate them enhances their whole experience.
”
“
The ability to communicate visually, without using medical terminology, is a powerful patient education tool. When I show them the simulated results of their procedures, it gives them the confidence that we have a plan that will meet their personal goals.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D is a great education and communication tool, probably the best one that exists. It realistically shows patients what they should look like after surgery and helps explain the procedure. It's particularly difficult for patients to conceptualize what they will look like after mastopexy. When I found that VECTRA was able to show that, to me that was the clincher.
”
Paul M. Parker, MD, FACS,Board Certified Plastic SurgeonThe Parker Center for Plastic SurgeryView all VECTRA Testimonials“
Being the first practitioner in my area to have the new VECTRA® system, I found it invariably impresses and intrigues those who see it for the first time. There are now a number of systems in this region and patients have come to expect it as an essential part of the consultation process for breast augmentation and rhinoplasty as well.
”
“
VECTRA® 3D has raised the standard of care for breast consultations, and at this point you would be at a disadvantage if you didn't have it. There is a tremendous leap of faith that patients take before having surgery, and VECTRA helps bridge that leap by giving them a window into what they are going to look like. It's the best communication tool that exists.
”
Louis P. Bucky, MD, FACS,Board Certified Plastic SurgeonPlastic Surgery Skin Care & Laser CenterView all VECTRA Testimonials“
After the first VECTRA® XT consult my nurses and staff immediately saw the value in this system. When the patient saw her breast augmentation 'post-op' image before the surgery, her uncertainty vanished and she couldn't wait to move ahead. We have had the VECTRA system for a year and half now, and we see this scenario every day.
”
Christine Stiles, MD,Board Certified Plastic SurgeonThe Center for Breast and Body ContouringView all VECTRA Testimonials“
My patients really respond to VECTRA® 3D simulations. It gives them more confidence in their aesthetic goals, which reinforces their commitment and ultimately helps assure greater satisfaction with the results. Our first VECTRA XT was so effective it paid for itself in only 3 months. The following year we bought another for our branch office.

Surgeons have differentiated their practices by offering Breast Sculptor consultations, and it has brought print and broadcast media attention to surgeons across the country. At the same time, these surgeons have seen a substantial increase in conversion rates for breast augmentation procedures.
Face Sculptor currently provides the ability to model in 3D several facial procedures, including;
Face Sculptor software is very easy to use. Graphical instructions, easy adjustment sliders and intuitive software guide the user to ensure that realistic surgical models are easily created. Face Sculptor's convenient viewing tools makes it easy to show your patient the likely outcome from any angle, as well as superimposed over the pre-op image or side-by-side.
Several types of adjustments are provided to enable simulating most surgical and non-surgical procedures. Constrained and unconstrained tools are used to adjust the shape of the face, such as modifying the bridge of the nose, adding filler to the malar pad region and liposuction of the chin and neck. Additional skin texture tools are used to adjust surface changes, such as adding toxins, filling in nasolabial folds and skin resurfacing.
Yes. A patient initially interested in modifications to only one portion of their face, for instance their nose, can also be shown the effects of changes made to a complementary portion of the face such as their chin.
2D images, saved from any angle of the 3D image, can be copied into a printable report for use during surgery. It is also possible to load the 3D image onto a PC located in the operating room, enabling the surgeon to use an electronic copy of the 3D image as a reference.

Breast Sculptor software is very easy to use. Its wizard-like interface guides the user through three quick and easy steps to create a realistic outcome.
Breast Sculptor's convenient viewing tools makes it easy to show your patient the likely outcome from any angle, as well as superimposed over the pre-op image or side-by-side. You may also elect to have Breast Sculptor generate a custom report with pre-op photos, breast measurements and implant selection information.
Primarily, the landmarks are used to enable Breast Sculptor to provide key measurements used for implant selection. However, the landmarks are also used to help the software identify where the patient's chest wall is located for purposes of creating the modeled outcome.
Breast Sculptor provides the ability to select the implant brand, fill type (gel or saline), profile, shell (smooth or textured), volume, and in the case of saline implants the amount of fill added. The manufacture's catalog number is provided. You may also select different implant parameters for each breast to help address breast asymmetry.
All patients exhibit some level of asymmetry. In some cases, the level of asymmetry is large enough that it should be addressed during augmentation surgery. Breast Sculptor conveniently provides an indication of asymmetry by showing the difference in volume between the two breasts. The user can then make adjustments to the implant parameters, including volume and profile changes to deal with the asymmetry.
Breast Sculptor includes the ability to model the lifting of the breast in conjunction with an augmentation. The process is done directly after the implants are modeled and before the final outcome is created. This enables the user to provide a comparison to the patient of what the augmentation would look like with or without the lift.
Yes. The software provides the ability for the surgeon to make easy adjustments to ensure the simulation matches what the surgeon considers the expected outcome to be.
Yes. Canfield's VECTRA 3D Imaging system provides high resolution images, suitable for displaying on the largest displays. Even the pores on the patient's skin are displayed.
Breast Sculptor software comes as part of a complete turn-key solution suitable for professional Breast Sculptor consultations. This solution includes the VECTRA III High Resolution 3D Capture System, 3D Mirror software, computer, and one day of installation and training.
Yes. Breast Sculptor can be run from a computer other than the one provided with your turn-key system. Of course, the high quality Breast Sculptor images require additional graphic card performance. Contact Canfield Imaging Systems to see if your computer is adequate for running Breast Sculptor. If not, we can make recommendations for computers or upgrades best suited for this purpose.
