mikeethedane, remember he is only 5 months out! This is a really good result so far. I think that Dr Devroye is hands down the best at presentation and details of a surgery. All clinics should take notice. Awesome job doc!!

Oops, i seemed to have missed that part and thought this was a fully grown transplant.

Really nice results then!!!

First of all I would like to thank all the participants for their nice comments.
For Mike who wrote

Your graphics suggest to me that there is a real need for a CAD tool in HT procedures so that patients and doctors can plan optimum strategies for their HT. Such a tool would input several 2D images, creates a 3d model and then allow the Dr to manipulate the graft distribution to suit the patients need. A growth feature would then simulate growth and maturity for a virtual "final" result.

I have already thought about making it in 3 dimensions, but I do not have an adequate system yet.
On the other hand, I'm daily using two different pictures software in 2 dimensions.
The first one, it is simply Photoshop. I have drawn a group of layers, (see the gallery). I superpose them on the analyses of photographs that I send to my patients. It allows me to define clearly the possible strategies. I am also using a special tool so to simulate the result I think we should be able to reach. Every day we receive 2 or 3 on-line consultations, with pictures, and Anthony (one of my collaborators) organizes them on three lines. The first line shows the original photographs with no modification, on the second we draw the zones in order to define the work that could be done and finally on the third, I manually paint via Photoshop a simulation of the result expected. I prefer to carry out this last stage personally in order not to give false hopes to the patients in case of being too generous in term of density.
I have a second tool, you probably have seen a couple of examples on some posts.
For example, GOOD DENSITY DESPITE THE THIN HAIR.

It is software that I personally wanted so I asked a French data processing specialist to prepare it for me. This software permits to measure precisely the surfaces to be covered, but I need to have a standard one meter ribbon on the photograph.
It will be possible for my colleagues to have a copy of this software when the last version of the book Hair Transplantation of W. Unger and R. Shapiro will be on sale, as a demo version of it will be attached to the book.
Thanks to these two approaches, it is possible to be much clearer and rational in the approach and it is also very important to show to the patients the limits we have in terms of cover and density.
I've added in the gallery an example of a morphing sent and the final result after the Hair Transplant.
