Artificial Intelligence In Cephalometry

摘要

In the field of orthodontics doctors employ a technique called cephalometry to help them detect any abnormalities in the alignment of the facial skeleton and thus decide the next course of action. This is accomplished by drawing a cephalometric tracing of the cephalogram.rnThis paper aims to employ artificial intelligence to perform a comprehensive and composite analysis that incorporates Steiners, Rakosi Jarabacks and Tweeds analyses. A rule-based assistant expert system is devised to compare the actual linear and angular measurements of the key landmarks and reference planes against the expected values and display the diagnosis.
