Abstract
Amira 3D software was used to measure the Levator palati volume, the musculus uvulae length, thickness, diameter, and volume from MRI scans of subjects with normal anatomy and subjects with repaired cleft palate. Results showed that cleft subjects had significantly reduced measures for MU volume, MU length, and levator volume.
