Cliniface

Cliniface lets clinicians interactively visualise, measure, analyse, and export data and reports

about 3D facial images taken of their patients. Cliniface records a comprehensive range of facial

measurements and compares these against known statistics of facial growth to automatically identify

significant dysmorphic traits as standard Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms which have

disease/gene associations. By combining the HPO terms reported by Cliniface with other phenotypic

information (including medical/family histories etc), a clinician is better able to quickly and

accurately arrive at a potential diagnosis. Cliniface can then summarise the analysis in a PDF

report, or export the analysis to CSV (or other text formats) for detailed follow-up investigations if required.

Cliniface takes over fifty measurements from different parts of the face including distances,

depth, angles, and asymmetry. In addition, Cliniface offers clinicians the ability to record their

own measurements on the 3D facial image in an intuitive and easy manner using "virtual callipers".

Visualisations of asymmetry and curvature are also provided to help clinicians more effectively

interpret the facial surface.

Cliniface works with 3D facial models stored in a wide variety of formats including formats without

texture information. The protection and privacy of subject information is ensured because all

processing is carried out on your own machine.
