We present the first data-driven pediatric model that explains cranial sutural growth in the
pediatric population. We segmented the cranial bones in the neurocranium from the cross …

Background Craniosynostosis, a congenital condition characterized by the premature fusion
of cranial sutures, necessitates objective methods for evaluating cranial morphology to …

Sagittal craniosynostosis (SCS), the most common type of premature perinatal cranial suture
fusion, results in abnormal head shape that requires extensive surgery to correct. It is …

This paper describes a hybrid model that includes both a standard finite element model and
also volume-preserving structural modeling for a clinical application involving skull …

Objective: We present a data-driven method to build a spatiotemporal statistical shape
model predictive of normal cranial growth from birth to the age of 2 years. Methods: The …

Background: Available normative references of cranial bone development and suture fusion
are incomplete or based on simplified assumptions due to the lack of large datasets. We …

Quantifying the progression of a condition is one the most difficult challenges facing
physicians as they look to provide the most effective treatment customized for individual …

The neonate skull consists of several bony plates, connected by fibrous soft tissue called
sutures. Premature fusion of sutures is a medical condition known as craniosynostosis …

Background: Craniosynostosis is a condition caused by the premature fusion of skull
sutures, leading to irregular growth patterns of the head. Three-dimensional …

The newborn mammalian cranial vault consists of five flat bones that are joined together
along their edges by soft fibrous tissues called sutures. Early fusion of these sutures leads to …
