2 dimensional basicranial form was defined by linear dimensions, Fourier coefficients and medial axis lengths from lateral cephalographs of age-sex matched samples of microcephalics, macrocephalics and normocephalics. The resultant analyses revealed relatively minor contrasts in basicranial form compared with that of the neurocranium. The patterns of contrast between the 3 samples however varied depending upon the technique of data analysis. Thus further study is required before the validity of basicranial form as a reference plane for cephalometric analysis can be evaluated.
二维颅底形态由小头畸形、巨头畸形和正常头型的年龄性别匹配样本的侧位头颅X线片的线性尺寸、傅里叶系数和中轴线长度来定义。结果分析显示，与脑颅骨相比，颅底形态的差异相对较小。然而，三个样本之间的对比模式因数据分析技术而异。因此，在评估颅底形态作为头影测量分析参考平面的有效性之前，还需要进一步研究。
