Reliability of Cephalometric Analysis Using Manual and Interactive Computer Methods

Abstract

This study compares the results of cephalometric analyses using manual and interactive computer graphics methods. Results are statistically in favour of the interactive computer system. This study provides a basis for ongoing research into alternative methods of cephalometric analyses. such as digitization and automatic landmark identification using sophisticated computer vision systems.
