The object of this paper is to introduce a freeware software tool designed to simplify taking measurements of anthropometric facial parameters.Measurement of facial parameters is often needed for rhinoplastic, dental and aesthetic surgical procedures.By measuring parameters of crucial importance, the surgeon can evaluate the condition of the patient.Measurement of parameters before and after surgery also provides a way of assesing results of the surgery.The measurement process is not difficult but tedious due to accuracy requirements.The software tool presented in this study can be used to work with patients' photo files and provides a way of measuring popular facial parameters easily and accurately.The paper describes how the software tool should be used for measuring facial parameters correctly.The tool is developed in Java to make it portable over different platforms and can be used to export patient's measurements to a spreadsheet or database automatically.Software is available for download as freeware for license free use.
