Face Anthropometric Pattern Recognition Technology for Computer Aided Diagnosis of Human Genetic Disorders.

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Carmel Medical Center, June 2008

Sponsors and Collaborators:	Carmel Medical Center Soroka University Medical Center Technion, Israel Institute of Technology
Information provided by:	Carmel Medical Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00705055

Purpose

The hypothesis to be tested: After the construction of a database of anthropometric measurements, the system would extract important features of a given facial surface and be able to match it with existing morphometric figures. A given combination of normal and abnormal measurements will open a "probable diagnosis" and a list of "differential diagnosis" that will be expressed as percent of matching in a descendent order to the examiner.
