Locally Affine Diffeomorphic Surface Registration and Its Application to Surgical Planning of Fronto-Orbital Advancement.

ABSTRACT: Metopic craniosynostosis is a condition caused by the premature fusion of the metopic cranial suture. If untreated, it can result into brain growth restriction, increased intra-cranial pressure, visual impairment, and cognitive delay. Fronto-orbital advancement is the widely accepted surgical approach to correct cranial shape abnormalities in patients with metopic craniosynostosis, but the outcome of the surgery remains very dependent on the expertise of the surgeon because of the lack of objective and personalized cranial shape metrics to target during the intervention. We propose in this paper a locally affine diffeomorphic surface registration framework to create an optimal interventional plan personalized to each patient. Our method calculates the optimal surgical plan by minimizing cr
