How Analyze was Used
“For each recorded study, the investigator (M.A.P) identified an instance of best velopharyngeal closure with minimal head rotation or translation. Paired still images were then captured during velar rest and closure. Each pair of images was superimposed and adjusted for ideal registration of fixed cranial landmarks and then fused using Analyze 10.0 (AnalyzeDirect, Overland Park, KS). A schematic for image capture and fusion with example images is shown in Figure 1.”
