Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This reference manual serves a diverse interdisciplinary audience, including anthropologists, biomedical engineers, clinical dysmorphologists, forensic scientists, psychologists, artists, medical illustrators, radiologists, and reconstructive surgeons, all interested in measuring the human head and face. Unlike other anthropometric texts that overlook these areas, this manual focuses exclusively on the head and face. It begins with a brief history of craniofacial anthropometry and then provides a thorough overview of the essentials for conducting rigorous studies, from establishing a craniofacial laboratory with necessary facilities and equipment to detailed descriptions of landmarks and measurements, including synonyms and variations from earlier literature. The introduction of new instruments enhances the toolkit for researchers studying head and face growth and morphology. The authors also demonstrate methods for analyzing and interpreting collected data, covering studies of normal populations and clinical dysmorphology. Clinical applications of anthropometry in surgical reconstruction for congenital and traumatic head and face anomalies are illustrated through complex case studies. The manual concludes with a discussion of cutting-edge computer imaging techniques and their potential for quantitative craniofacial analysis.
