“…Craniosynostosis has been previously observed to alter the intracranial volume distribution as cranial development continues despite the constriction [4,21] . The developing cranium continually expands to compensate for rapid cognitive development in the first few years after birth.…”

“…The metopic suture also complicated the quantification because it has been shown to have an even quicker normal closure that begins three months after birth and is typically completely closed after nine to twelve months [24] . The remaining cranial sutures normally narrow dramatically within the first two years after birth, but do not have full bone fusion for 30 to 40 years [4,5] .…”

Quantifying the progression of a condition is one the most difficult challenges facing physicians as they look to provide the most effective treatment customized for individual patients. To achieve these goals, a novel image processing algorithm providing automated quantification has been developed to analyze the cranial vault and sutures using CT in humans and construct predictive models of the condition. Currently, very few preoperative or postoperative quantification tools exist for children with craniosynostosis so we used a customized active contour snake algorithm and 3D reconstruction to quantify the intracranial volume and measure the cranial sutures of these patients.A set of 117-patient CT scans was collected and analyzed, 77 with varying types of craniosynostosis and 40 normal patients as a control. Total intracranial volume was maintained in craniosynostosis patients in comparison to normal resulting in a uniform growth curve that showed no significant difference between the two groups. Assessing the asymmetry in the intracranial volume and measurements of suture volume and patency resulted in quantitative separations in synostosis types. These separations were further validated by a logistic regression model with pseudo R 2 values greater than 0.95 and an 86.9% average accuracy in cross-validation of the seven groups, which increased to 91.9% with the removal of the underrepresented lambdoid synostosis group.

In children with suspected cranial pathologies, three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) imaging is superior to other modalities. It can help differentiate actual pathology from normal or variant appearances. Sutures and fontanelles, synostosis, abnormalities of head shape without craniosynostosis, congenital calvarial defects, cranial fractures, bone tumors, and postoperative cranial vault can be assessed easily with 3D CT imaging. We aimed to discuss the common normal, variant, and pathological findings that 3D CT imaging can aid to diagnose as well as explain the usefulness of 3D CT imaging in the diagnosis of calvarial pathologies.
