A Computational Framework to Predict Calvarial Growth: Optimising Management of Sagittal Craniosynostosis

The neonate skull consists of several bony plates, connected by fibrous soft tissue called sutures. Premature fusion of sutures is a medical condition known as craniosynostosis. Sagittal synostosis, caused by premature fusion of the sagittal suture, is the most common form of this condition. The opt...
