Custom Analysis

In addition to the standard analysis choices built into SmartCeph, you can use the Custom Analysis feature to create your own analysis templates, or Ortho2 can, at your request, provide you a custom analysis for a fee. A custom analysis can include landmarks, planes, or variables from standard SmartCeph analyses, or your own alternate sources. In the case of custom analyses, the customer verifies the accuracy of the implementation of the analysis.

  1. Click to OpenOpen Custom Analysis Window - Select the Custom Analysis icon from the SmartCeph File ribbon bar.

  2. Click to OpenEdit or Create Custom Analysis - In the Details section of the window, either choose an existing custom analysis from the drop down list, or click New to create a new analysis from scratch. (If you have custom analysis files that are not listed, be sure the Path to Custom Analysis field of your Analysis Options is correct. See "Analysis Options" for details.)

    Your custom analysis will include each item in the the New Analysis Measurements and New Analysis Structures columns. You can use the [<] and [>] arrows to move structures from one column to the other, and the [ ^ ] and [v ] arrows to rearrange the selected structures. When you trace a ceph, you will be prompted to place the selected structures in order, from the top down..

    Superimposition Requirement - In order to align the ceph on the lateral facial photo for superimposition, it is necessary to include Upper Soft Tissue and Lower Soft Tissue in your selected structures.

  3. Click to OpenSave Changes - Click Save in your Quick Access toolbar, Main ribbon bar, or File ribbon bar (or press Ctrl+S on your keyboard) to save any changes you have made.

    Any time you save changes to a custom analysis, you must exit and re-open SmartCeph before those changes will take effect.
