title: 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.
