Cephalometric analysis: manual tracing of a lateral cephalogram

Comparison of manual, digital and lateral CBCT cephalometric analyses

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the reliability of three different methods of cephalometric analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS Conventional pretreatment lateral cephalograms and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans from 50 subjects from a radiological clinic were selected in order to test the three methods: manual tracings (MT), digitized lateral cephalograms (DLC), and later...

A comparison of the reproducibility of manual tracing and on-screen digitization for cephalometric profile variables.

The aim of this investigation was to analyse and compare the reproducibility of manual cephalometric tracings with on-screen digitization using a soft tissue analysis. A random sample of 20 lateral cephalometric radiographs, in the natural head posture, was selected. On-screen digitization using Viewbox 3.1.1.9 cephalometric software and manual tracing on a 1:1 printout of the image was carried...

Identification of Sex using Lateral Cephalogram: Role of Cephalofacial Parameters

Introduction: Recognition of sex is an important aspect of identification of an individual. Apart from pelvis, skull exhibits highest sexual dimorphism in the human body. Lateral cephalograms are an invaluable tool in identification of sex as they reveal architectural and morphological details of the skull on a single radiograph. The equipment required for lateral cephalometry is readily availa...

The Transfer of The Information Received by Static Mandibular-Position-Analysis into The Latero-Lateral Cephalometric Tracing

Analysis of Pharyngeal Airway Using Lateral Cephalogram vs CBCT Images: A Cross-sectional Retrospective Study

Background : As the basic biological relationship of form and function, changes in the normal pattern of nasopharyngeal space can profoundly affect the development of the craniofacial growth. The lateral cephalogram, part of the patient's normal records for orthodontic treatment, may show some of these changes either at the initial examination or later during treatment. The validity of the info...
