Abstract: Optimizing Measurements in Plastic Surgery through Holograms with Microsoft Hololens

INTRODUCTION: There is no universally accepted severity scale for unilateral cleft lip that quantifies the spectrum of disease. Furthermore, measurement systems utilizing calipers are cumbersome, time-consuming and difficult to standardize. Facial Dysmorphology Novel Analysis technology (FDNA, Inc, Boston MA) enables automatic detection and evaluation of subtle craniofacial dysmorphology, as well as recognizable facial patterns associated with multiple rare diseases, by processing and analyzing regular two dimensional facial photographs. This study serves as a preliminary technical analysis to assess the potential of FDNA’s technology to automatically identify severity levels of unilateral cleft lip.
