Computer Simulation and Optimization of Cranial Vault Distraction.

The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to validate the proof of concept of a computer-simulated cranial distraction, demonstrating accurate shape and end volume.

Cleft Skeletal Asymmetry: Asymmetry Index, Classification and Application.

The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association
OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively measure the extent of 3D asymmetry of the facial skeleton in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) using an asymmetry index (AI) approach, and to illustrate the applicability of the index in guiding and mea...

Parzen neural networks: Fundamentals, properties, and an application to forensic anthropology.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
A novel, unsupervised nonparametric model of multivariate probability density functions (pdf) is introduced, namely the Parzen neural network (PNN). The PNN is intended to overcome the major limitations of traditional (either statistical or neural) p...

An open, multi-vendor, multi-field-strength brain MR dataset and analysis of publicly available skull stripping methods agreement.

NeuroImage
This paper presents an open, multi-vendor, multi-field strength magnetic resonance (MR) T1-weighted volumetric brain imaging dataset, named Calgary-Campinas-359 (CC-359). The dataset is composed of images of older healthy adults (29-80 years) acquire...

Bone Fusion in Normal and Pathological Development is Constrained by the Network Architecture of the Human Skull.

Scientific reports
Craniosynostosis, the premature fusion of cranial bones, affects the correct development of the skull producing morphological malformations in newborns. To assess the susceptibility of each craniofacial articulation to close prematurely, we used a ne...

Use of pattern recognition and neural networks for non-metric sex diagnosis from lateral shape of calvarium: an innovative model for computer-aided diagnosis in forensic and physical anthropology.

International journal of legal medicine
Sex determination on skeletal remains is one of the most important diagnosis in forensic cases and in demographic studies on ancient populations. Our purpose is to realize an automatic operator-independent method to determine the sex from the bone sh...

An automatic method for skeletal patterns classification using craniomaxillary variables on a Colombian population.

Forensic science international
BACKGROUND: The mandibular bone is an important part of the forensic facial reconstruction and it has the possibility of getting lost in skeletonized remains; for this reason, it is necessary to facilitate the identification process simulating the ma...

A knowledge-based algorithm for automatic detection of cephalometric landmarks on CBCT images.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is now an established component for 3D evaluation and treatment planning of patients with severe malocclusion and craniofacial deformities. Precision landmark plotting on 3D images for cephalometric analy...

Mechanical characterization of bone anchors used with a bone-attached, parallel robot for skull surgery.

Medical engineering & physics
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...

Beyond 3D Printing: How AI is Shaping the Future of Craniomaxillofacial Bone Tissue Engineering.

ACS biomaterials science & engineering
This perspective focuses on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone tissue engineering, mitigating current challenges, and driving the development of tailored biomaterials and clinical translation. CMF bone tis...
