Popis: Introduction: Systematic identification of anatomical variants and anomalies in large patient populations remains problematic. The purpose of this study is to determine whether anatomical anomalies of the hyoid region can be quantitatively characterized, and corresponding subjects can be identified within a large cohort of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients Methods: Software was developed (er3d.com) comprising Procrustes transformation (PT) followed by shape state extraction and thin plate spline description. Validation was achieved by simulating specific affine and non-affine geometric changes utilizing a set of 3D printed geometries and assessing expected outcomes. Subsequently, scans derived from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of three primary groups were analyzed including control subjects, unilateral CLP, and bilateral CLP patients with each affected group divided into either growing (
