Digital image enhancement of cephalograms. 1978

S W Oka, and H J Trussell

Quantification of cephalometric X-rays requires the use of hand tracings of the structures to delineate points, lines, and angles. The structures, especially soft tissue, are often obscure and are therefore approximated. Recent biomedical application of image enhancement by digital computer promises a method whereby landmarks in the cranium are more clearly defined. Development of this technique will enable a more extensive and accurate utilization of cephalometric radiographs for diagnostic and research purposes.
