Software development for the management of cephalometric radiographic data.
This paper presents the details and logic of a set of three IBM System 370 Assembler Language programs designed to manage a data bank, of ever increasing magnitude, which contains coordinate data obtained from cephalometric radiographs. The data from the radiographs, and consequently, the programs, are primarily intended for use by the orthodontist who is engaged in clinical research, and are especially useful in studies related to changes within the facial and dental complexes which occur as a result of growth and orthodontic treatment.
