Statistical Shape Modelling the In Vivo Location of Acetabular Wear in Retrieved Hip Implants [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2022 Edge-wear in acetabular cups is known to be correlated with greater volumes of material loss; the location of this wear pattern in vivo is less understood. Statistical shape modelling (SSM) may provide further insight into this.

Analysing functional implications of differences in left ventricular morphology using statistical shape modelling [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Functional implications of left ventricular (LV) morphological characterization in congenital heart disease are not widely explored. This study qualitatively and quantitatively assessed LV shape associations with a) LV function and b) thoracic aortic ...

High quality statistical shape modelling of the human nasal cavity and applications [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 The human nose is a complex organ that shows large morphological variations and has many important functions. However, the relation between shape and function is not yet fully understood. In this work, we present a high quality statistical shape model of

Statistical shape modelling for the analysis of head shape variations [PDF]
Journal of Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery, 2021 The aim of this study is, firstly, to create a population-based 3D head shape model for the 0 to 2-year-old subjects to describe head shape variability within a normal population and, secondly, to test a combined normal and sagittal craniosynostosis (SAG) population model, able to provide surgical outcome assessment. 3D head shapes of patients affected

Landmark-free statistical shape modelling reveals effects of age and sex on whole muscle morphology among the triceps surae [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceThe shape of skeletal muscle has important influences on muscle function, yet studies of three-dimensional shape variation are rarely performed. Analysis of muscle shape variation using traditional tools is limited by lack of anatomical landmarks, but ...

The potential of statistical shape modelling for geometric morphometric analysis of human teeth in archaeological research. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 This paper introduces statistical shape modelling (SSM) for use in osteoarchaeology research. SSM is a full field, multi-material analytical technique, and is presented as a supplementary geometric morphometric (GM) tool.
