Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Healthy infants were enrolled to receive three dimensional craniofacial photography regularly at their age of one month, two month, four month, six month, nine month and twelve month. All the image data was analyzed to reveal infants' craniofacial development.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Importance The development of craniofacial morphology in the first year of life is critical, especially when analyzed with longitudinal 3-dimensional photographs.

Objective To evaluate the development of the craniofacial region in healthy infants in the first year of life and provide treatment guidelines for craniofacial deformities such as orofacial clefts and deformational plagiocephaly.

Design, Setting, and Participants Three-dimensional (3D) photographs of included participants were captured using a 3dMD system. Participants were grouped by sex and age (1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months). We placed 32 craniofacial anatomical landmarks on 3D craniofacial photos. The thin-plate spline algorithm and closest-point matching were applied to transform a symmetric 3D template into a series of scanned images to calculate 3D composite heads at different ages.

Main Outcomes and Measures Average craniofacial meshes were calculated for each group. The growth patterns of the following anthropometric indices were determined: craniofacial height, depth, width, volume, body height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and head circumference.
