Popis: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems dedicated to craniofacial imaging are now available from several different manufacturers. Potentially, CBCT will permit the use of 3D cephalometrics for orthodontic assessment. A simple method is demonstrated to simulate conventional 2D cephalograms from CBCT image files. Such cephalogram simulations can be used to facilitate transfer of growth projections from existing datasets as a starting point for use of the new 3D paradigm.
