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.

Three-dimensional (3D) photography allows for the creation of surface models without the need for radiation and has been validated as reliable and equivalent to CT for calvarial measurements.

We present a fully automated pipeline to identify craniofacial landmarks in real time, and we use it to assess the head shape of patients with craniosynostosis using 3D photogrammetry.

School-age anthropometric and patient-reported outcomes after open or endoscopic repair of sagittal craniosynostosis. AR Fotouhi, KB Patel, GB Skolnick, CM Merrill, KM Hofmann, E Mantilla-Rivas, BR Collett, VD Allhusen, SD Naidoo, GF Rogers, RF Keating, MD Smyth, SN Magge.

The authors found that, at school age, endoscopic repair produced a clinically meaningful and significantly greater improvement in anthropometric outcomes compared with open repair.
