ABSTRACT

This procedure can be broken down into a number of steps. First, the bone

must be isolated from the CT scans. Then, the bone structures from various

scans from a single individual are used to produce a 3D reconstruction of the

skull. Subsequently, relevant anatomical landmarks can be obtained from these

reconstructions for the purposes of size-and-shape analysis, where the obser-

vations are regarded as points on the size-and-reflection-shape space SRΣ k3,0, that was introduced in Chapter 12.
