Forward approach: Transformations of the template characterise individual subject shapes. The statistical shape analysis method is based on analysing subject-specific transformations that deform a computed template shape towards each patient shape rather than considering the actual 3D shapes. The transformations are unique for each subject and comprise all relevant shape features that characterise the subject shape
