Comparing digital serial cephalogram images for growth or treatment changes.
Superimposing serial radiographs is an easy method for assessing growth changes or treatment progress. Conventional films could be superimposed manually over a light box. The layering and variable-opacity features of digital imaging software can be used to superimpose digital images on your computer screen. Digital imaging software can be used to compare digital radiographs to identify growth patterns or treatment progress.
