Abstract:

Craniofacial malocclusion assessment is traditionally based on cephalometric analysis, in which anatomical landmarks are identified and used to characterize skeletal relationships between the cranial base, maxilla, and mandible. Although this process is clinically well established, manually annotating landmarks is time-consuming, observer-dependent, and difficult to scale in routine clinical practice. This is especially limiting for opportunistic screening, where it is unrealistic to expect clinicians to annotate landmarks for every patient. In this talk, I will discuss how machine learning, particularly deep learning for medical imaging, can support automated craniofacial analysis and malocclusion prediction from 3D imaging.
