Dental X-Rays and Risk of Meningioma

BACKGROUND: Ionizing radiation is a consistently identified and potentially modifiable risk factor for meningioma, which is the most frequently reported primary brain tumor in the United States. The objective of this study was to examine the association between dental x-rays—the most common artificial source of ionizing radiation—and the risk of intracranial meningioma. METHODS: This population...

IDEFIX Identi cation of dental xtures in intraoral X rays

In dental implantology more than one hundred enossal implant systems are in use. Once embedded, the dental X{ray examination is the most important tool for determing implants' producer, name, and type. In this paper, we present a system for automatical detection and identiication of dental xtures in intraoral X rays (IDEFIX) combining common direct digital image acquisition techniques with spec...

Exhaustive Matching of Dental X-rays for Human Forensic Identification

Dental features have been widely used for forensic identification purposes. With the large number of cases that need to be investigated by forensic odontologists, a move towards computer-aided dental identification systems is necessary. We propse an automated scoring and ranking method that can be used to augment other text-based methods such as WinID. Given a postmortem (PM) radiograph with a ...
