Visualization of the analysis sequence. Two consecutive cone-beam computed tomography scans (CBCTs) are needed for volumetric analysis. Patient inclusion criteria were two anterior segmental gaps including one gap between fibula and fibula bone and another gap between fibula and mandible. DICOM files of CBCTs were imported to the image processing software (Image J). Areas between cortical bones of both intersegmental gaps were identified (red). By analyzing multiple planes of the CBCTs, volume changes were calculated. Every third slice was marked manually. The other slices were interpolated by the software.
