Evaluation of surgical treatment for craniosynostosis is typically based on subjective visual assessment or simple clinical metrics of cranial shape that are prone to interobserver variability. Three-dimensional photography provides cheap and noninvasive information to assess surgical outcomes, but there are no clinical tools to analyze it. The authors aim to objectively and automatically quantify head shape from three-dimensional photography.
