Session 12 of Commission V
Topic: Biostereometrics
Chairman: Dr. R. E. Herron (U.S.A.)
Invited Paper
Author: Dr. R. E. Herron (U.S.A.)
Title: Biostereometrics '74 — A Report
IP V/15
Dr. Herron discussed the activities since 1974
as well as the status of this field of application
of photogrammetry.
Panel Discussion
Topic: Biostereometrics
Moderator: Dr. R. E. Herron (U.S.A.)
Panelists: | Dr. F. G. Lippert (U.S.A.)
Dr. K. Torlegárd (Sweden)
A panel discussion on the latest developments
in biostereometrics followed. Dr. Lippert spoke
on experimental studies of patellar motion using
X-ray photogrammetry
Dr. Torlegárd, again, considered ways of intro-
ducing photogrammetry into the field of medicine.
He posed the following questions:
1. What is the best way to start — to prepare
courses, or to attack problems and to try and
solve them?
2. What is better — to have complicated universal
and expensive equipment, or to have simple equip-
ment for solving single problems?
3. Who should do the photogrammetry in medi-
cine — photogrammetrists or the medical staff?

The answers to these questions were postponed
until after the Presented Papers.

The Chairman then returned to Dr. Torlegárd and
asked him to repeat the questions given above.
Dr. Lippert answered to the repeated questions:
1.With regard to the introduction of Photo-
grammetry, at our university we have found it
favourable to arrange series of sessions, in which
we have invited representatives of the medical
departements concerned, and to present there
what we can offer in terms of our capabilities.
New questions raised were discussed there and
then studied. The results have also been pub-
lished in the University News Letter in order to
keep the people abrest with our work.
2.As to the kind of equipment to be used it
naturally depends on the problem to be solved
and one should start applying the most simple
available ones which gives the accuracy needed.
3. To judge from our experience, it is now pos-
sible to have technicians make the photographs
and to have photogrammetrists do the data
processes required.
Dr. Oshima said that, in his opinion, there is not
enough work in the hospitals for photogram-
metrists in order to have them permanently
employed; it is often better to hire them. He
added that in Japan they are organizing a medico-
technical society to guarantee cooperation
between doctors and engineers.
Dr. H. Meixner (Austria) asked how expensive
the equipment used in Uppsala was. In answer,
Dr. Lónnerholm said it was worth about Fmk
80.000.
The Chairman closed the meeting by observing
that it was very difficult to give exact answers
to Dr. Torlegárd's questions, because so much
depends on the local circumstances. It is clear,
however, that a high level of education of photo-
grammetrists should be guaranteed in medical
centres also in the future. As to equipment,
much more should first be known about the
problems involved.
