Applications of 3D photography in craniofacial surgery

Christian Duncan, Nick E Pears, Hang Dai, Will A P Smith, Paul O'HigginsJournal of Pediatric Neurosciences 2022 17(5):21-28Three-dimensional (3D) photography is becoming more common in craniosynostosis practice and may be used for research, archiving, and as a planning tool. In this article, an overview of the uses of 3D photography will be given, including systems available and illustrations of how they can be used. Important innovations in 3D computer vision will also be discussed, including the potential role of statistical shape modeling and analysis as an outcomes tool with presentation of some results and a review of the literature on the topic. Potential future applications in diagnostics using machine learning will also be presented.
