Three-dimensional Assessment of Longitudinal Surgical Outcome in Patients with Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate: A Modified Rotation Advancement Technique. Y Xu, M Yao, B Shi, et al.

We collected and assessed 3dMDface images of 115 consecutive patients who underwent primary repair between 2017 and 2019. 3dMD images were taken preoperatively, immediately postoperatively and at a first and second follow-up interval, occurring at an average year of 0.6 and 5.3 years, respectively.

Laboratory Methods for a Pilot Study of the U.S. YouthShape Survey of Child and Youth Anthropometry and Physical Capability. MLH Jones, SM Ebert, CS Miller, BKD Park, H Jung, A Wood, LE Robinson, MP Reed.

High-resolution head and face surface data were gathered in a 3dMD system. Head scan data with a range of facial expressions to capture the associated variation in face shape is essential for the design of protective helmets and other head-borne equipment. High-resolution hand size and shape surface data were also recorded to include standardized and functional hand poses, including a flat hand, fist, and various grasps.

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.

Efficacy of a Combination Treatment of Ablative Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser Therapy and Recombinant Human Epidermal Growth Factor for Atrophic Acne Scars. H Peng, X Ran, X Yang, G Zhou, X Lin, L Shen, X Wu.

Compared to the sole use of laser, the combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and rhEGF does not significantly enhance scar therapeutic effects. However, it does shorten the recovery period after laser treatment and improves the pore appearance.

A new method to orient a 3-dimensional facial model to natural head position: A preliminary report on accuracy and reproducibility, AA Yin, Y Dong, X Zhang, BQ Song, SZ Bai.

To establish and validate a novel method to orient a 3-dimensional (3D) facial model to natural head position (NHP) in a stereophotogrammetric system using a 2-dimensional frontal full-face photograph of NHP.
