Claim 0:
1. A computer-assisted method for assisting in anomaly identification relating to fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) comprising:
retrieving and/or generating a sequence of progressively changing images that depict morphing of at least:
a subject's upper lip (vermillion) between at least a first state representing an identification of a first facial anomaly relating to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and a second state representing lack of the identification of the first facial anomaly; and/or
ridges running from the subject's nose to the subject's lip (philtrum) between at least a first state representing an identification of a second facial anomaly relating to fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and a second state representing a lack of the identification of the second facial anomaly;
wherein the number of images in the sequence is selected to provide a substantially continuous transition between the first and second states;
displaying the retrieved and/or generated images as the sequence on a display of a processing device;
providing a user interface on the processing device for a user to navigate the displayed sequence and make an image selection;
determining a representative image selection based on the user's image selection; and
providing a determined identification or lack of identification of the first and/or second facial anomaly based on the determined representative image selection.
