Abstract: An image capturing system utilizes a plurality of image capturing apparatus to capture first image data for an object. A processor is utilized to combine the first images to produce first three-dimensional digital image data. The processor then utilizes a second algorithm to combine the intermediate digital image information to produce a complete three-dimensional digital image of the object. The three-dimensional image may be viewed on a display and viewed from any point on a three dimensional surface surrounding the object. The object can be non-stationary.

Abstract: A method and system for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for head deformities in infants is described. The system operates on three dimensional digital captured data of a head to provide cranial remodeling device information for a cranial remodeling device.

Abstract: A method and system for producing cranial remodeling devices to correct for head deformities in infants as described. The system operates on three dimensional digital captured data of a head to automatically provide trim line information for each cranial remodeling device.

Abstract: Databases and a system for operating on such databases are described in which data representative of first head shapes and corresponding modified head shapes and corresponding cranial remodeling devices are provided.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically producing data representative of a modified head shape from data representative of a deformed head is provided. The method includes a step of processing captured data for the deformed head utilizing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to generate PCA data representative of the deformed head. The method also includes the steps of providing the PCA data as input to a neural network; and utilizing the neural network to process the PCA data to provide data representative of a corresponding modified head shape.

Abstract: A system and methods for the production of cranial remodeling orthoses are described. The patient's head is scanned to produce three dimensional data. The scanned data is modified to produce data which is representative of a preferred head shape. The preferred head shape data is used to produce a custom cranial remodeling orthosis for the patient.

Abstract: A cranial orthosis band is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis includes a rear region which encloses the occipital bone region of the cranium so that flattening of the rear of the head can be treated or prevented. The orthosis is self-suspending. The rear portion of the orthosis imparts ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.

Abstract: A cranial remodeling orthosis is shaped to extend across the top of the head with depending regions closely confining the temporal bone regions and the mastoid process regions of the cranium. The orthosis is self-suspending and preferably includes an elastic band for imparting ear-to-ear rigidity to the device.

Abstract: A cranial remodeling band has an internal surface shaped to the configuration to which a subject's cranium is to be reconfigured. The band has at least one discontinuity therein permitting relative movement of anterior and posterior portions of the band. An elastic member extending across the discontinuity biases the anterior and posterior regions toward each other.
