Cephalometric tracing (CEPH Tracing) is a digitally rendered, overlay drawing produced from a cephalometric radiograph. Superimposed CEPH tracing are used to facilitate CEPH x-ray analysis to evaluate dental treatment plans and dental/facial growth changes.
Digital CEPH Tracing
Tracing a cephalometric radiograph has traditionally been one of the most tedious and time-consuming parts of any cephalometric x-ray examination. While the initial x-ray can be completed within minutes, the post X-ray analysis can take much longer – especially when using a more traditional method of ‘hand tracing’ of the CEPH radiograph.
