Thermal facial image analyses reveal quantitative hallmarks of aging and metabolic diseases. Z Yu, Y Zhou, K Mao, B Pang, K Wang, T Jin, H Zheng, H Zhai, Y Wang, X Xu, H Liu, Y Wang, JDJ Han.

We collected thermal and 3dMD facial images of 2,811 Han Chinese individuals 20–90 years old, developed the ThermoFace method to automatically process and analyze images, and then generated thermal age and disease prediction models.

Three-dimensional video recordings: Accuracy, reliability, clinical and research guidelines – Reliability assessment of a 4D camera. G Coppola, D Hänggi, G Cassina, C Verna, N Gkantidis, G Kanavakis.

The accuracy of movement recordings was excellent at all speeds (60, 30 and 15 fps), with variability in MAD values consistently being less than 1 mm. The reliability of the camera recordings was excellent at all recording speeds.

3D extraoral morphometric changes after implant surgery: an exploratory pilot study using stereophotogrammetry. P Ercal, E Calciolari, R Patel, L Zou, N Mardas, N Donos.

There was a longitudinal decrease in soft tissue volume and depth difference in extraoral soft tissues in the region of implant placement after surgery up to 6 weeks. The use of a facial scanner is a promising noninvasive method to monitor 3D morphometric changes after implant surgery.
