    Abstract: A method for identifying tooth regions. The method includes generating a first threshold image from a first tooth image by selecting intensity data values higher than a first predetermined threshold value c1; generating a second threshold image from a second tooth image by selecting intensity data values higher than a second predetermined threshold value c2; generating a preliminary tooth regions image that defines at least a first tooth region from the intersection of the first and second threshold images; generating a reference binary image from the first image by selecting intensity data values higher than a third predetermined threshold value c3, wherein threshold value c3 exceeds c1; and generating a refined tooth regions image from at least the first tooth region in the preliminary tooth regions image. The first tooth region is connected to objects in the reference binary image.

    Abstract: A method for obtaining an intra-oral image, the method executed at least in part by a computer system, emits illumination from an intra-oral camera toward an object that is within the mouth of a patient, then obtains image data content of the object at an image sensor of the intra-oral camera. The image content obtained from the imaging sensor is displayed and one or more movement signals indicative of movement of the intra-oral camera along at least two of three mutually orthogonal axes is obtained. The one or more obtained movement signals are interpreted as an operator instruction corresponding to a predetermined movement pattern. At least the display of the image content is changed according to the operator instruction.

    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging the head of a patient has a transport apparatus that orbits an x-ray source and detector about the head and acquires 2-D radiographic projection images. One or more head marker retaining elements hold markers in position relative to the skull. One or more jaw marker retaining elements hold markers in position relative to the jaw bone. At least one camera acquires a jaw motion study. A control logic processor in signal communication with the x-ray source, x-ray detector, and the camera is configured to reconstruct volume image content using the 2-D radiographic projection images acquired, to segment the jaw bone structure from the skull bone structure, to register the reconstructed volume image content, and to generate display content that shows jaw bone structure motion acquired from the set of reflectance images. A display in signal communication with the control logic processor displays the generated content.

    Abstract: An apparatus for imaging the head of a patient has a transport apparatus that moves an x-ray source and detector in at least partial orbit about a head supporting position for acquiring 2-D radiographic projection images of the head. A light source coupled to the transport apparatus projects patterned light over at least a portion of the orbit. A monochrome camera coupled to the transport apparatus records, at angles of the orbit, monochrome reflectance images of the projected patterned light. A color camera coupled to the transport apparatus acquires, at each of one or more angles of the orbit, a color reflectance image of the head. A control logic processor energizes at least the x-ray source, the detector, the transport apparatus, the light source, and the cameras to acquire and process both radiographic and reflectance image data obtained during the at least partial orbit about the head supporting position.
