METHOD AND PLOTTING BOARD FOR EVALUATING TELERADIOGRAM OF HEAD IN LATERAL PROJECTION Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: medicine. SUBSTANCE: method involves determining anthropometrical parameters and comparing them with reference values in norm. Grid having given number of labeled columns and rows of equal cells is applied to head teleradiogram. The grid has a number of lines arranged in parallel to Frankfurter horizontal level including control lines passing through the inferior point of the Turkey saddle and the inferior point on the lower outline of the mandible body at the place of mandibular symphysis overlay and a number of lines running in perpendicular to the Frankfurter horizontal level including control lines passing through the most protruding nose tip point and the inferior point of the Turkey saddle. Anthropometrical values are taken as control anthropometrical points positions relative to grid cells. The number of columns and rows is selected to be equal to the number of columns and rows of the plotting board for performing evaluation. Known type of plotting board has grid formed by a set of mutually perpendicular lines including the control lines and has known number of labeled columns and rows of cells with control anthropometrical points drawn describing their normal positions. EFFECT: high accuracy examination. 5 cl, 6 dwg _
