A critical part of orthodontic
treatment is the diagnosis. One
of the most useful tools to make
an orthodontic diagnosis is the
Ricketts Cephalometric analysis.
Thus, the aim of this work is to
develop a computational environment
that it allows to define points
and measures of interest on a cephalometric
scanned image, in order to apply
a Ricketts analysis as an aid for
orthodontists. The application can
be used from any web server compatible
with a Java virtual machine. Preliminary
tests show that cephalometric analysis
on scanned images does not increase
the measurement error and it could
be used as a low cost solution to
do clinical diagnosis.
