Abstract

A method and apparatus for stereoscopic measurement of an actual value of depth in a subject through its three-dimensional image obtained from two stereoscopically photographed films by utilizing three factors, that is, the center of optical axis of an X-ray tube or a camera which is indexed from the films at the time of stereoscopic photography, distance of movement from the first photographic point to the second photographic point and distance from the X-ray tube or the lens to the film.
