Current computational tools for planning and simulation in plastic and reconstructive surgery
lack sufficient precision and are time-consuming, thus resulting in limited adoption. Although …

Orthognathic surgery corrects jaw deformities to improve aesthetics and functions. Due to
the complexity of the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) anatomy, orthognathic surgery requires …

Outpatient surgery has revolutionized health care. From minimally invasive surgical
approaches to the continued refinement of general anesthesia, same-day surgery is …

Orthognathic surgical outcomes rely heavily on the quality of surgical planning. Automatic
estimation of a reference facial bone shape significantly reduces experience-dependent …

Complex maxillofacial malformations continue to present challenges in analysis and
correction beyond modern technology. The purpose of this paper is to present a virtual …

Background: Advances in deep learning (DL) have been transformative in computer vision
and natural language processing, as well as in healthcare. The authors present a novel …

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to using technologies to simulate human cognition to solve a
specific problem. The rapid development of AI in the health sector has been attributed to the …

Introduction Throughout the history of computing, shortening the gap between the physical
and digital world behind the screen has always been strived for. Recent advances in three …

We present a learning-based approach for synthesizing facial geometry at medium and fine
scales from diffusely-lit facial texture maps. When applied to an image sequence, the …

In the field of maxillofacial surgery, there is a huge demand from surgeons to be able to pre-
operatively predict the new facial outlook after surgery. Besides the big interest for the …
