Verification and standardization of cephalometric coordinate data.
This paper presents the details and logic of the FORTRAN computer programs designed to verify the accuracy of digitized coordinate data arising form cephalometric radiographs, prior to entry into a databank. In addition, the software accounts for varying magnifications of the radiographs which result from the use of different cephalometers, Finally, data from all records are oriented in the same coordinate system, thus standardization of the data has been accomplished. As a result of the two programs, the user may be guaranteed accurate and comparable data for any or all records contained in the databank.
