[Processing of cephalometry: Delaire's architectural and structural analysis]

Area of Science:

• Orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery
• Medical imaging analysis

Context:

• Cephalometry is crucial for diagnosing craniofacial abnormalities.
• Manual cephalometric analysis is time-consuming and prone to variability.

Purpose:

• To present Cephor, a novel software system for performing cephalometric analysis.
• To automate and enhance the precision of Delaire's analysis.

Summary:

• Cephor digitizes radiographic outlines for rapid, precise cephalometric diagnoses.
• The software enables treatment simulation, including osteotomy.
• It supports multiple analysis methods (Delaire, Tweed, Ricketts, Steiner) and treatment monitoring.

Impact:

• Cephor offers significant time savings and improved measurement reproducibility.
• Enhances diagnostic accuracy and facilitates evidence-based treatment planning.
• Provides a versatile and user-friendly system for orthodontic and surgical applications.
