Faces Rebuilt, Lives Restored: The Bristol 3D Medical Centre. Amy Davey Interview.

Bristol 3D Medical Centre is a dedicated centre for in-house medical 3D design and 3D printing. It hosts a variety of medical device design software, state-of-the-art 3D printers, high-performance 3D surface scanners and advanced technology used to aid healthcare.

Two-Year Progressive Cranial Changes Following the Melbourne Technique for Sagittal Craniosynostosis. LM Harrison, K Prezelski, RR Hallac, AA Kane, P Sanati-Mehrizy.

3dMDhead images were obtained preoperatively and postoperatively at 3 weeks, 3 months, 1 year, and 2 years. Head circumference, cephalic index, scaphocephalic index (SCI), frontal bossing index (FBI), occipital bullet index (OBI), and vertex narrowing index (VNI) were measured automatically using the 3dMDvultus Craniometrics Calculator.

SHAPE: A visual computing pipeline for interactive landmarking of 3D photograms and patient reporting for assessing craniosynostosis. C Görg, C Elkhill, J Chaij, K Royalty, PD Nguyen, B French, AC Guerrero, AR Porras.

SHAPE reads in a patient’s 3D photogram, automatically places a set of craniofacial landmarks, allows for their manual confirmation and correction, and automatically computes both a series of standard clinical craniofacial measurements and machine learning-based metrics of head development prior to building an analysis report for upload to the patient’s electronic medical record.

Statistical Shape and Pose Model of the Forearm for Custom Splint Design. F Danckaers, J Van Houtte, BG Booth, F Verstreken, J Sijbers.

A 3D scan database of 200 healthy subjects (100 men and 100 women) performing hand motions was gathered using a 3dMD scanner. All subjects were scanned performing a movement at a frame-rate of 7.5 fps, resulting in ±100 scans per subject. Based on those scans, a new SSM was built with the help of the artificial SSM.
