Abstract

BACKGROUND: Predicting morphological changes to anatomical structures from 3D shapes such as blood vessels or appearance of the face is a growing interest to clinicians. Machine learning (ML) has had great success driving predictions in 2D, however, methods suitable for 3D shapes are unclear and the use cases unknown.
