Facial bone fractures are relatively common, with the nasal bone the most frequently fractured facial bone. Computed tomography is the gold standard for diagnosing such fractures. Most nasal bone fractures can be treated using a closed reduction. How...
Compared to computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) delineation of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bony structures can avoid harmful radiation exposure. However, bony boundaries are blurry in MRI, and structural information needs to be b...
Craniosynostosis is a condition in which cranial sutures fuse prematurely, causing problems in normal brain and skull growth in infants. To limit the extent of cosmetic and functional problems, swift diagnosis is needed. The goal of this study is to ...
The presence of cranial and facial bone fractures is an important finding on non-enhanced head computed tomography (CT) scans from patients who have sustained head trauma. Some prior studies have proposed automatic cranial fracture detections, but st...
Reconstructing facial deformities is often challenging due to the complex 3-dimensional (3D) anatomy of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and overlying soft tissue structures. Bilateral injuries cannot benefit from mirroring techniques and as such pre...
The increasing application of virtual surgical planning (VSP) in orthognathic surgery implies a critical need for accurate prediction of facial and skeletal shapes. The craniofacial relationship in patients with dentofacial deformities is still not u...

BACKGROUND: Midfacial fractures are among the most frequent facial fractures. Surgery is recommended within 2 weeks of injury, but this time frame is often extended because the fracture is missed on diagnostic imaging in the busy emergency medicine s...
Postoperative facial appearance prediction is vital for surgeons to make orthognathic surgical plans and communicate with patients. Conventional biomechanical prediction methods require heavy computations and time-consuming manual operations which ha...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop 3 models based on computed tomography (CT) images of patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia (CFD): a radiomics model (Model Rad), a deep learning (DL) model (Model DL), and a hybrid radiomics and DL model ...
