Discussion

Analysis of craniofacial malformations using CT scans shows effective comparisons with skeletal templates, implying improved diagnostic accuracy.

CT scans provide a database for creating comparing skull models from different ages, allowing enhanced understanding of craniofacial malformations.
Mean 3D models were generated through Dense Correspondence Analysis from 184 normal CT scans, forming the basis of our Skull Atlas.
This work utilizes 3DSlicer functions for generating statistical models and aligning them through vestibular orientation.
The approach supports integrative analysis of malformations against an atlas, though further validation in clinical settings may be necessary.

Philippe Pellerin (2025) studied this question.
