Continuous automated analysis of facial dynamics of brachycephalic and normocephalic dogs in different contexts.

BMC veterinary research
This study develops a novel automated method for measuring continuous dynamics of dog facial behavior based on video-based tracking of 46 facial landmarks grounded in the Dog Facial Action Coding System. This method is applied for comparing the facia...

Convolutional neural network-based classification of craniosynostosis and suture lines from multi-view cranial X-rays.

Scientific reports
Early and precise diagnosis of craniosynostosis (CSO), which involves premature fusion of cranial sutures in infants, is crucial for effective treatment. Although computed topography offers detailed imaging, its high radiation poses risks, especially...

Neural network analysis of pharyngeal sounds can detect obstructive upper respiratory disease in brachycephalic dogs.

PloS one
Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) is a highly prevalent respiratory disease affecting popular short-faced dog breeds such as Pugs and French bulldogs. BOAS causes significant morbidity, leading to poor exercise tolerance, sleep disord...

Quantifying dysmorphologies of the neurocranium using artificial neural networks.

Journal of anatomy
BACKGROUND: Craniosynostosis, a congenital condition characterized by the premature fusion of cranial sutures, necessitates objective methods for evaluating cranial morphology to enhance patient treatment. Current subjective assessments often lead to...

Machine learning applications in craniosynostosis diagnosis and treatment prediction: a systematic review.

Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery
Craniosynostosis refers to the premature fusion of one or more of the fibrous cranial sutures connecting the bones of the skull. Machine learning (ML) is an emerging technology and its application to craniosynostosis detection and management is under...

A Longitudinal Analysis of Pre- and Post-Operative Dysmorphology in Metopic Craniosynostosis.

The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to objectively quantify the degree of overcorrection in our current practice and to evaluate longitudinal morphological changes using CranioRate, a novel machine learning skull morphology assessment tool.  Desi...

AI-based diagnosis and phenotype - Genotype correlations in syndromic craniosynostoses.

Journal of cranio-maxillo-facial surgery : official publication of the European Association for Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery
Apert (AS), Crouzon (CS), Muenke (MS), Pfeiffer (PS), and Saethre Chotzen (SCS) are among the most frequently diagnosed syndromic craniosynostoses. The aims of this study were (1) to train an innovative model using artificial intelligence (AI)-based ...

A Comparison of Endoscope-Assisted and Open Frontoorbital Distraction for the Treatment of Unicoronal Craniosynostosis.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
BACKGROUND: Frontoorbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO) is an established surgical technique for patients with unicoronal craniosynostosis. The authors' institution has used an endoscope-assisted technique (endo-FODO) in recent years to decrease cu...

Clinical metrics and tools for provider assessment and tracking of trigonocephaly.

Journal of neurosurgery. Pediatrics
OBJECTIVE: Quantitative measurements of trigonocephaly can be used to characterize and track this phenotype, which is associated with metopic craniosynostosis. Traditionally, trigonocephaly metrics were extracted from CT scans; however, this method e...
