NUS's innovative skull reconstruction algorithm offers a significant advancement in craniomaxillofacial surgery by generating 3D models of normal skulls from defective ones with minimal error and distortion. This technology facilitates precise surgical planning for patients with skull deformities due to congenital abnormalities, trauma, or illness, overcoming limitations of symmetry-based and statistical model methods. Beyond medical applications, it supports forensic and anthropological investigations requiring accurate skull reconstructions. This method improves accuracy, efficiency, and applicability to various skull conditions, making it a versatile tool in both clinical and research settings.
