3-D Face Scans May Pinpoint Autism Earlier Than Normal, Telethon Kids Institute Study
Telethon Kids Institute researchers are hoping 3-D face scanning technology will help detect autism in children as young as one year old, which is at least one year earlier than current practices allow for.
The study is scanning the faces of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as well as their siblings and parents to provide insights into ASD and earlier detection.
While autism isn't normally thought to have distinctive face features, recent studies found small facial anomalies.
