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.
