Abstract

Computerized analysis of cephalometric radiographs for Orthodontic purposes has gradually been replacing the classical manual procedure, with outstanding advantages. Unfortunately, this replacement seems to be facing some resistance in several countries such as Portugal. The authors identified the main reasons for this fact and developed a system (AUTOCEF) with the major purpose of overcoming them.
