A simple, versatile TV-based measuring system is described which is applicable for cephalometrics and other purposes. It is suitable for large or microscopic objects, and can be used for measuring two-dimensional objects, or three-dimensional objects in two planes. Reproducibility of the system in cephalometrics is assessed and compared with that obtained with the reflex metrograph.
