Advanced 3-D Facial Imaging Can Help Detect Autism
From: Medical Design Technology - 01/14/2015

Screening could lead to further genetic analysis and advancements in the
study and treatment of the disorders

Autism is a spectrum of closely related disorders diagnosed in patients who
exhibit a shared core of symptoms, including delays in learning to
communicate and interact socially. Early detection of autism in children is
the key for treatments to be most effective and produce the best outcomes.
Using advanced three-dimensional imaging and statistical analysis techniques,
researchers at the University of Missouri have identified facial measurements
in children with autism that may lead to a screening tool for young children
and provide clues to its genetic causes.
