Shape analysis of infant’s heads is crucial to diagnose cranial deformities and evaluate head growth. Currently available 3D imaging systems can be used to create 3D head models, promoting the clinical practice for head evaluation. However, manual analysis of 3D shapes is difficult and operator-dependent, causing inaccuracies in the analysis. This study aims to validate an automatic landmark detection method fo...
Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is a cranial deformity characterized by an asymmetrical distortion of an infant’s skull. The diagnosis and evaluation of DP are performed using cranial asymmetry indexes obtained from cranial measurements, which can be estimated using anthropometric landmarks of the infant’s head. However, manual labeling of these landmarks is a time-consuming and tedious task, being also prone ...
