Zusammenfassung:We have developed a new system for measuring dental, gnathic, and facial areas with cephalogram-equivalent images created from computed tomographic imaging data. An advantage of this collaborative system is that a measurement template and automated processing are used. First, experienced orthodontists were provided with the measurement templates; they then moved the measurement markers to the specified landmarks on the cephalogram in the template. Subsequently, the program automatically detected the coordinates of the markers and calculated the distance between those coordinates. The appropriate use of this system leads to highly accurate results in large quantities of measurements in a short time by means of both manual and automatic processing. The system was developed to contribute to worldwide research into dental and craniofacial measurements; the research involved 500 patients, and the system worked successfully.
