title: [Comparative study of the accuracy of localizing cephalometric reference points in using digital and conventional imaging technique].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to present possible advantages of digital luminescence radiography for cephalometry. Conventional and digitalized lateral headfilms were compared and evaluated. The first impression of an improved simultaneous presentation of bony structures and soft tissue profile in digital x-rays was statistically verified. A significant difference in identification of several reference points was proven by means of the F-test. The superior results of the digital luminescence radiography were evaluated in comparison with xeroradiography and experimental postdigitalization of conventional x-rays.
