Abstract
We present an automated method of spatially detailed 3D
asymmetry quantification of face surfaces obtained in a
stereophotogrammetric system, and the method was applied
to a population of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
(JIA) who have involvement of one temporomandibular
joint (TMJ). Non-rigid registration of a patient face surface
to a mirrored version of the same face surface provided a
spatially dense map of left-right point correspondences that
were used in the asymmetry calculation. For inter-patient
comparison and modeling, detailed point correspondence
was obtained by non-rigid registration of a symmetric atlas
surface to a symmetric version of the patient surface. The
method was validated by comparison to a landmark based
method of asymmetry quantification, and the two methods
were seen to provide similar results. The method was seen
to be able to quantify typical patterns of asymmetry in JIA
subjects with affected TMJ and compare them to a control
population.
