Skull damage caused by craniectomy or trauma necessitates accurate and precise Patient-Specific Implant (PSI) design to restore the cranial cavity. Conventional Computer-Aided Design (CAD)-based methods for PSI design are highly infrastructure-intens...
Craniofacial morphometrics in sharks provide crucial insights into evolutionary history, geographical variation, sexual dimorphism, and developmental patterns. However, the fragile cartilaginous nature of shark craniofacial skeleton poses significant...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Every year, thousands of people suffer from skull damage and require personalized implants to fill the cranial cavity. Unfortunately, the waiting time for reconstruction surgery can extend to several weeks or even months, es...
Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications have elevated accomplishments in various scientific fields, primarily those that benefit the economy and society. Contemporary threats, such as armed conflicts, na...
Cranial sex estimation often relies on visual assessments made by a forensic anthropologist following published standards. However, these methods are prone to human bias and may be less accurate when applied to populations other than those for which ...
Transcranial ultrasound imaging is a popular method to study cerebral functionality and diagnose brain injuries. However, the detected ultrasound signal is greatly distorted due to the aberration caused by the skull bone. The aberration mechanism mai...

PURPOSE: Timely identification of intracranial blood products is clinically impactful, however the detection of subdural hematoma (SDH) on non-contrast CT scans of the head (NCCTH) is challenging given interference from the adjacent calvarium. This w...
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...
