AI-Based Angle Map Analysis of Facial Asymmetry in Peripheral Facial Palsy
< 0.001). The fully automated pipeline produced reproducible results and demonstrated robustness to head rotation. Intuitive full-face angle maps allowed direct assessment of asymmetry without a reference image. This AI-driven approach provides a robust, objective, and visually interpretable framework for clinical monitoring, severity classification, and treatment evaluation in PFP, combining quantitative precision with practical applicability.
