OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of cephalometric measurements using iPad apps called CephNinja and SmartCeph Pro. The measurements were compared with the measurements obtained using Dolphin Imaging computer software.
METHODS
Twenty digital cephalometric radiographs were randomly selected from the archives and traced using the CephNinja app, SmartCeph Pro app, and Dolphin Imaging software. Twenty-one landmarks and 16 measurements were performed in each program. The statistical analysis was conducted using the Bland-Altman analysis at a significance level of 0.05.
RESULTS
For the CephNinja app, there were seven measurements that were in accordance with Dolphin Imaging software. For the SmartCeph Pro app, six measurements were in accordance with Dolphin software. Both apps gave better results for angular measurements than linear ones.
CONCLUSION
These findings indicate that, although they are user-friendly, orthodontic apps for cephalometrics are not equal with Dolphin software now and need to be developed to be more reliable for most of the measurements.
目的
本研究旨在评估使用名为CephNinja和SmartCeph Pro的iPad应用程序进行头影测量的准确性和可靠性。将这些测量结果与使用Dolphin Imaging计算机软件获得的测量结果进行比较。
方法
从档案中随机选择20张数字化头影测量X线片，并使用CephNinja应用程序、SmartCeph Pro应用程序和Dolphin Imaging软件进行描记。每个程序中进行了21个标志点和16项测量。使用Bland-Altman分析进行统计分析，显著性水平为0.05。
结果
对于CephNinja应用程序，有7项测量结果与Dolphin Imaging软件一致。对于SmartCeph Pro应用程序，有6项测量结果与Dolphin软件一致。两款应用程序在角度测量方面的结果均优于线性测量。
结论
这些发现表明，尽管正畸头影测量应用程序用户友好，但目前它们与Dolphin软件并不等同，需要进一步开发以使其在大多数测量中更可靠。
