Abstract: A method for capturing the shape of a dento-maxillofacial object out of volumetric image data of the dento-maxillofacial object is described. The method includes performing a segmentation of the volumetric image data with at least one calculated segmentation parameter indicative of the distinction between the dento-maxillofacial object and its background and derived from a calibration procedure. The method further includes capturing the shape of the dento-maxillofacial object from the segmented volumetric image data.

Abstract: A system and method for pre-operatively obtaining a prediction of a post-operative image of at least part of a body is disclosed. A 3D pre-operative description is determined of at least part of a body, and a pre-operative 2D photograph is acquired of the at least part of the body from any viewing position. The 3D pre-operative description is matched with the pre-operative 2D photograph, and a deformation field is determined for deforming the 3D pre-operative description. A predicted post-operative image of a 3D post-operative description of the at least part of the body is derived by means of the deformation field and the pre-operative 2D photograph.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method for performing a cephalometric or anthropometric analysis comprising the steps of: acquiring a 3D scan of a person's head using a 3D medical image modality, generating a 3D surface model using data from the 3D scan, generating from the 3D scan at least one 2D cephalogram geometrically linked to the 3D surface model, indicating anatomical landmarks on the at least one 2D cephalogram and/or on the 3D surface model, performing the analysis using the anatomical landmarks.
