An interactive on-line computer system for the measurement of cephalometric radiographs, and facial and plaster cast photographs is described. The details of the hardware (computer and peripherals) and software are provided. Numerical and graphical analysis and presentation of the resultant data are discussed. Many research and clinical applications of the system are outlined.
