Application of 3D morphometrics to the assessment of typical and disordered craniofacial growth [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Mr Harold Matthews (Principal investigator)

Brief description Traditionally, assessing the growth of the head and face has relied on measuring changes in distances and angles between landmarks on either patients, photographs or x-rays. This is not only slow but also not very accurate. This project will automate the identification of these landmarks on 3D images and quantify normal growth of the head and face. From this we can develop methods of quantifying abnormal growth and use these to understand the impact of surgical interventions on children.
