【 摘 要 】

This paper presents an original method to detect malformations in cranial facial 3D images. This is a hard task because of the complex structure of the cranium. The method is composed by several stages containing essentially a segmentation phase to localize the bone structure, a 3D image characterization to delineate automatically geometrical characteristics from the segmented images. These need to possess a mathematical definition in order to be calculated and an anatomical pertinence to be representative of the structures’ shape. So, the characteristics retained are the crest lines. And finally a registration phase to identify the deformations place. This method is tested on real and synthetic data and has proved his performance.
