Abstract
At the Department of Oral Surgery, School of Medicine, Kanazawa University, Fuji Computed Radiography (FCR) system has, been applied for Cephalogram of Jaw deformity patients since April 1991. Generally, FCR images indicate more clear-cut views than screen/film images. The FCR images are wonderfully clear, however, it is very difficult to determine some cephalometric landmarks.
As a result, we evaluated FCR images after operating Workstation system (WS images), the soft tissue profile was obtained as a reversed picture and hard tissue was obtained clearer than the original FCR image. Analyzing cephalometric pictures had no significant differences between FCR image and WS image. But WS image had far superior clearness when compared to FCR image.
