چکیده
With the development of x-ray technology and its application to the craniofacial skeleton, numerous landmarks have been described and studied to better diagnose and plan treatment options for anomalies related to facial architecture. The following text serves to highlight the important landmarks and illustrate how they may be used to plan successful orthognathic reconstruction.

متن کاملComparison between urinary oestrogen assay and serial ultrasonic cephalometry in assessment of fetal growth retardation.
Urinary oestrogen assay and serial ultrasonic cephalometry were performed on 284 patients who were considered on clinical grounds to be at risk of having a growth-retarded fetus. It was found that ultrasonic cephalometry was significantly better than oestrogens in diagnosing the small-for-dates baby, but that there was no significant difference between the two methods in predicting perinatal as...
متن کاملThe evaluation of a novel haptic-enabled virtual reality approach for computer-aided cephalometry
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE In oral and maxillofacial surgery, conventional radiographic cephalometry is one of the standard auxiliary tools for diagnosis and surgical planning. While contemporary computer-assisted cephalometric systems and methodologies support cephalometric analysis, they tend neither to be practical nor intuitive for practitioners. This is particularly the case for 3D methods s...

Craniometry is the scientific measurement of skulls, especially in relation to craniology while cephalometry is a branch of anthropometry in which the anatomical dimensions of head and face are measured. Cephalometry continues to be the most versatile technique in the investigation of the craniofacial skeleton because of its validity and practicality [1]. Human body dimensions are affected by e...
متن کاملContour Tracking by Regional Minimal Cost Path Approach. Application to Cephalometry
In this paper, a regional minimal cost approach without parameters is used for contour tracking with a good robustness. Dynamic programming is exploited for its efficiency. This general method is applied to the extraction of the cranial contour on higth resolution X-Ray image. Ellipse is then fitted on the extracted contour to represent it as a first step for automatic localisation of cephalome...
