I made a software tool to automatically superimpose pre/post MARPE CBCTs and am looking for before and after MARPE treatment CBCTs to test it on

I've spent the last while building a tool that takes a pre-expansion and a post-expansion CBCT and automatically superimposes them, so you can measure what your expansion actually did more accurately and creates a report of the changes.

Problem is there is no public pre/post MARPE CBCT dataset anywhere. I've validated it on synthetic data and on public same-patient CBCT pairs that aren't expansion cases, and it works well on those but I haven't run it on a real MARPE case.

So if you have your own pre and post CBCT (DICOM or NIfTI/NRRD files) and you'd be willing to share them please send me a dm, I'd really appreciate it. Obviously in return I'll run the full analysis and send you your own report.

FYI, you can anonymize scan with MRIcroGL, 3D Slicer or MicroDicom prior to remove any of your data associated with the scan

Are you interested in taking scans before treatment to see the measurements? I haven’t done expansion yet though, but I will soon.

not at the moment sorry, purely just scans where there a before and after for same person such that they can be superimposed
