Creating a Cephalometric Automatic Tracing

To create a cephalometric tracing, follow these steps:

View a cephalometric image in the Image Viewing Workspace or Darkroom mode.

Important: Before launching the calculation, make sure that your image is a cephalometric lateral image. Otherwise, the calculation will not work.

In the Drawings & Annotations toolbar, click to launch the Cephalometric Tracing calculation.

Important: The first time you launch the calculation, a caution message warns you about your responsibility to analyze, interpret and determine the validity of the automatic tracings. If you agree, click OK.

A wheel is displayed while the tracings are being calculated. Depending on the power of your computer processor, this can take a while.

Once the calculations are complete, the original cephalometric image displays with the new tracings, and you can access the cephalometric list in the Measurements list. See Using the Measurements List in the Image Viewing Workspace or Darkroom Mode.

In the Measurements list, you can select a different template, check the tracing structures, landmarks, measurements, and generate a report.
