![]() With standardized radiographs, the orientation of various anatomical structures can be studied by means of angular and linear measurements. The user-friendly and time-saving nature of the computerized method using digital radiographs makes it the preferred option. The findings indicated that most of the cephalometric measurements were highly reproducible with direct digital radiographs using Vistadent 2.1 AT as well as with printouts using both JOE software and hand tracing.ĭespite the low correlation for some measurements between the Vistadent 2.1 AT, JOE, and hand-tracing methods, most of the commonly used measurements were accurate. Most of the variables showed consistency between the three methods except for nasolabial angle, ANSMe, APFH, L1NB, NperpPg, GoMe, and U1NA measurements. Low correlation coefficients indicated poor reproducibility for nasolabial angle for each of the three methods ( P 0.05). Twenty-six anatomical landmarks were defined on each radiograph by a single investigator and 28 variables were calculated. Pre-treatment digital cephalometric radiographs of 125 patients were traced using Vistadent 2.1 AT and Jiffy Orthodontic Evaluation (JOE) software programs and by hand tracing of the printouts. ![]() ![]() Cephalometric Tracing Program Serial Cephalometric Radiographs.
