It is difficult to estimate the midsagittal plane of human subjects withcraniomaxillofacial (CMF) deformities. We have developed a LAndmark GEometricRoutine (LAGER), which automatically estimates a midsagittal plane for suchsubjects. The LAGER algorithm was based on the assumption that the optimalmidsagittal plane of a patient with a deformity is the premorbid midsagittalplane of the patient (i.e. hypothetically normal without deformity). The LAGERalgorithm consists of three steps. The first step quantifies the asymmetry ofthe landmarks using a Euclidean distance matrix analysis and ranks thelandmarks according to their degree of asymmetry. The second step uses arecursive algorithm to drop outlier landmarks. The third step inputs theremaining landmarks into an optimization algorithm to determine an optimalmidsaggital plane. We validate LAGER on 20 synthetic models mimicking theskulls of real patients with CMF deformities. The results indicated that allthe LAGER algorithm-generated midsagittal planes met clinical criteria. Thus itcan be used clinically to determine the midsagittal plane for patients with CMFdeformities.
