Fig. 2From: A statistical shape modelling framework to extract 3D shape biomarkers from medical imaging data: assessing arch morphology of repaired coarctation of the aortaForward approach: Transformations of the template characterise individual subject shapes. The statistical shape analysis method is based on analysing subject-specific transformations that deform a computed template shape towards each patient shape rather than considering the actual 3D shapes. The transformations are unique for each subject and comprise all relevant shape features that characterise the subject shapeBack to article page
