Development

Development stopped in 2005 when I changed jobs. Various attempts have been made to (re-)install the development environment with the source code. Sadly as so many plugin components were used I have not been successful in compiling the project. This means the program is currently not being developed.

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.

How to download

Amazingingly, you can download ROMAN for free.
We do like however, to keep track of its distribution, intend of use and publications for which ROMAN was a significatnt tool. We therefore would ask you to register before you'll be given accesss to the download. Please provide relevant details around your intentions of use.

Besides the option to download the software the download page contains further links to user guides.
