Structured Abstract Objective– To compare measurements from human skulls and their images from cephalometric radiographs (CR) and computed tomography (CT) scanograms, in order to gauge the potential clinical use of the latter. Design– Based on specific inclusion criteria, including stable centric occlusion, 13 adult skulls were selected from a larger collection. The mandible was taped to the maxilla after securing the occlusion of teeth and condylar seating in the glenoid fossa. Lateral and posteroanterior cephalographs and CT `scout views' were taken of each skull by standardized methods. Landmarks were identified on skulls and images. Outcome Measures– Linear measurements were made on all three records; angular measurements only on CR and CT images. Intraclass correlation coefficients (r) were calculated to assess similarity among records. Paired t-tests were used to compare differences between mean measurements. Results– No statistically significant differences were noted between mean angular values on CR and CT views (P > 0.05). The highest correlations were observed for several vertical midline distances between CT and direct skull measures: 0.82 |
