Cephalometry is the scientific measurement of the dimensions of head. The name Cephalometry is grain to the morphological study of all structures present in the human head. Cephalometry is a branch of Anthropometry.
Anthropometry may perhaps be most simply and comprehensively defined as the conventional art or system of measuring the human body and its parts. The systems of measuring the skull and the skeleton are known separately as craniometry and osteometry, but these terms are frequently merged with that of anthropometry ;thus we speak only of anthropometric instruments, anthropometric methods in anthropometric laboratories.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This research project aimed to study the cephalic index of North Indian students enrolled at Teerthanker Mahaveer Medical College & Research Centre (TMMC&RC) in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. The research sought to analyze the cephalic index of these students and compare the findings to existing research on cephalic index in other populations.
- Cephalic index as a measure of head shape
- Variation in cephalic index among different populations
- Correlation between cephalic index and sex
- Comparison of cephalic index findings to existing studies
