3dMD Collaborates with the Pioneering Customer Team at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist to Launch the 3dMDvultus™ Craniometrics Calculator for Use by the Global Craniofacial Community.
3D photogrammetry composites provide a global contour evaluation for diagnosis and longitudinal outcome analysis.

Non-syndromic craniosynostosis patients are as satisfied with their appearance in adulthood as the control group and do not experience a lower self-esteem or more depressive symptoms. Facial asymmetry does not correlate with low self-esteem or clinically significant depressive symptoms in adulthood. Subjective evaluation of one’s appearance correlated with depressive symptoms. Age and gender do not influence the former results. Overall, patients are satisfied with their appearance.
To develop a semi-automatic technique to evaluate normative facial growth in healthy children between the age of 1.5 and 5.0 years using three-dimensional stereophotogrammetric images.
This descriptive, retrospective, single centre cohort study aims to describe the contribution of 3D photographs in the assessment of the degree of facial asymmetry changes over time in growing children and adolescents with ECDS and PRS.
The goal was to find objective measurements that would correlate with the patient’s subjective self-evaluation of their own cosmetic appearance.
The authors analyzed a number of metrics measured using 3D stereophotogrammetry following ESCH, an imaging alternative that is free of ionizing radiation and can be performed on awake children.
Results show a significant improvement…and encourage the clinical use of 3D photogrammetry to reduce exposure to radiation of children.
Results of this study show that 3dMD photography is a valid alternative to CT for evaluation of head shape in MCS. Its use will provide an objective, quantifiable means of assessing outcomes in a rigorous manner while decreasing radiation exposure in this patient population.
