Computer technology is already assuming an important role in the management of orthodontic practices. The next 10 years are likely to see expansion in computer usage into the areas of diagnosis, treatment planning, and treatment-record keeping. In the areas of diagnosis and treatment planning, one of the first problems to be attacked will be the automation of head film analysis. The problems of constructing computer-aided systems for this purpose are considered herein in the light of the authors' 10 years of experience in developing a similar system for research purposes. The need for building in methods for automatic detection and correction of gross errors is discussed and the authors' method for doing so is presented. The construction of a rudimentary machine-readable data base for research and clinical purposes is described.
计算机技术在正畸治疗实践管理中已发挥着重要作用。未来10年，计算机的应用可能会扩展到诊断、治疗计划制定和治疗记录保存等领域。在诊断和治疗计划制定领域，首先要解决的问题之一将是头颅X光片分析的自动化。鉴于作者在开发用于研究目的的类似系统方面有10年经验，本文探讨了为此构建计算机辅助系统的问题。讨论了建立自动检测和纠正重大错误方法的必要性，并介绍了作者的相关方法。描述了用于研究和临床目的的初步机器可读数据库的构建。
