This paper admirably illustrates the pitfalls and problems with cephalometric analysis, whilst also briefly presenting some alternative analyses.Ferguson, J. W., Evans, R. I. W., and Cheng, L. H. H. (1992). Diagnostic accuracy and observer performance in the diagnosis of abnormalities in the anterior maxilla: a comparison of panoramic with intra-oral radiography. British Dental Journal, 173, 265-71. [PubMed 1449856] [DOI: 10.1038/sj.bdj.4808024]

An excellent publication which explains the legislative background to taking radiographs and the need to justify every exposure.Jacobson, A. (1995). Radiographic Cephalometry: From Basics to Videoimaging. Quintessence Publishing, USA.
An authoratative book. Includes a very good section on how to trace a cephalometric radiograph with actual copy films and overlays to aid landmark identification.Kamoon, A., Dermaut, L., and Verbeek, R. (2001). The clinical significance of error measurement in the interpretation of treatment results. European Journal of Orthodontics, 23, 569-78. [DOI: 10.1093/ejo%2F23.5.569]
An interesting paper which puts into context cephalometric errors in the interpretation of small reported treatment changes.Sandham, A. (1988). Repeatability of head posture recordings from lateral cephalometric radiographs. British Journal of Orthodontics, 15, 157-62. [PubMed 3166972]
