Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Overuse of radiography studies and underuse of conservative therapies for cranial deformities in neonates is a known inefficiency in pediatric craniofacial healthcare. This study sought to establish whether the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI)-generated craniometrics and craniometric interpretations into craniofacial clinical workflow improved resource utilization patterns in the initial evaluation and management of neonatal cranial deformities.
