Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent negative effects on children's development. Without the treatment, children may be at increased risk of developing high blood pressure or other heart problems. The gold standard for OSA diagnosis is the polysomnography (sleep study) PSG performed at a sleep center. Not only is it an expensive procedure, but it can also be very stressful, especially for children. Patients have to stay at the sleep center during the night. Therefore, screening tools are very important. Multiple studies have shown that OSA screening tools can be based on facial anatomical landmarks. Anatomical landmarks are landmarks located at specific anatomical locations. For the purpose of the screening tool, a specific list of anatomical locations needs to be identified. We are presenting a survey study of the automatic identification of these landmarks on 3D scans of the patient's head.
