Dynamic three-dimensional facial topography in pediatric facial palsy: Understanding asymmetrical facial contours. K Prezelskia, J Cheng, RR Hallac.

Curvature analysis provides insight into the unexplored relationship of the 3D morphological dynamics of the concavity and convexity of the face, to add to the understanding of this complex condition… could allow surgical treatment to be tailored to an individual patient’s dynamic anatomy by identifying and quantifying facial region-specific asymmetry.

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.
