Introduction
ROMAN stands for ROntgen Monogrammetric ANalysis. It was developed between 1997 and 2004 for the Institute of Orthopaedics, Oswestry, UK as an intiative of Prof J.B.Richardson. It was written in a program language called Pascal (Delphi) for a MSWindows OS. The Institute of Orthopaedics used it in various wear and stem migrations projects (Thrust Plate migration MD Thesis by Tomoki Takahashi). For years the program download page was hosted by Keele University. This website was re-organised in December 2010, the ROMAN download page was removed. As I don't work for either anymore, but the user group had grown over the years, I decided to dedicate a page to ROMAN and allow free access to the program to continue.
