ASJ (IF 4.28)
We have developed a new MRI sequence to map the individual arterial anatomy of the face as a pre-operative and preventive step before reconstructive and aesthetic procedures, without the use of contrast agent, nor harmful x-rays.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In order to visualize the individual anatomy, some type of imaging is needed. An MRI Is currently the only technique that allows for a risk-free visualization, as there is no contrast injection nor radiation exposure involved.
A one-time MRI for each patient suffices, as the same arterial image can be visualized during each follow-up filler consultation (unless major facial changes occur in the meantime, such as a facelift, nose correction or big facial trauma)
Metal objects, such as braces or screws, are not a contra-indication to perform an MRI examination. However, this may influence the arterial visualization of certain parts of the face. For example, braces may render the superior and inferior labial artery invisible due to artefacts. Similarly, a screw in the maxillary bone or mandibula may obscure (a part of) the angular and/or facial artery.
In case of cerebral clips or other intra-cerebral metal objects, please consult the responsible surgeon.
Yes, if the HCP instructs the secretary to execute the necessary steps in order to obtain the AR-image at the time of the first consultation. This implies:
- Register the patient
- Perform a 20” video of the patient’s face
- Make the face 3D scan
- Generate an MRI prescription
- Make an MRI-appointment
Currently, the developed MRI-protocol only supports 3T MRI-machines, due to the higher image quality that it generates. The list of supported MRI-centers grows continuously. Each new center needs a short start-up phase to receive the necessary documentation and explanation by Augmented Anatomy.
The available MRI-centers will be visible on the platform after you logged in. If you wish to send your patients to an MRI-center that is not yet included in the list, please reach out to us and we will do our best to contact the department to include them as well.
