Background Accurate volumetric analysis is an essential component of preoperative
planning in both reconstructive and aesthetic breast procedures towards achieving …

The aim of this study was to validate the automatic tracking of facial landmarks in 3D image
sequences. 32 subjects (16 males and 16 females) aged 18–35 years were recruited. 23 …

Purpose Dynamic asymmetry has not been as rigorously evaluated as static asymmetry for
patients with skeletal deformity but could well be even more important. The aim of the …

Objective To evaluate the reproducibility of three nonverbal facial expressions using a three-
dimensional motion capture system. Design Prospective, cross-sectional, controlled study …

Introduction Smile reanimation should be considered from a dynamic perspective. Any
intervention should restore normality. To date no such normative dynamic data has been …

Functional impairments of facial expressions alter the quality of life and their quantitative
analysis is key to describing and grading facial function and dysfunction. The aim of this …

The aim of this study was to generate a quantitative dynamic assessment of facial movement
symmetry changes after orthognathic surgery. Twenty-five patients diagnosed with skeletal …

Insight into the roles of perioral muscles play in smiling is essential to the relevant esthetic
and reconstructive treatment. This study analyzed specific landmarks' movement trajectories …

This book addresses patient-specific modeling. It integrates computational modeling,
experimental procedures, imagine clinical segmentation and mesh generation with the finite …

Facial functional impairments develop from a variety of causes. In order to quantify the
impairments of animations, the reproducibility of facial animations was investigated. In this …
