Working with DICOM craniofacial images

Working with DICOM craniofacial images.

The increasing use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) requires changes in our diagnosis and treatment planning methods as well as additional training. The standard for digital computed tomography images is called digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM). In this article we discuss the following concepts: visualization of CBCT images in orthodontics, measurement in CBCT images...

Distributing medical images with internet technologies: a DICOM web server and a DICOM java viewer.

With the advent of filmless radiology, it becomes important to be able to distribute radiologic images digitally throughout an entire hospital. A new approach based on World Wide Web technologies was developed to accomplish this objective. This approach involves a Web server that allows the query and retrieval of images stored in a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) archive....

Working with the DICOM Data Standard in R

The package oro.dicom facilitates the interaction with and manipulation of medical imaging data that conform to the DICOM standard. DICOM data, from a single file or single directory or directory tree, may be uploaded into R using basic data structures: a data frame for the header information and a matrix for the image data. A list structure is used to organize multiple DICOM files. The convers...

A Hybrid Approach for Denoising Dicom Images

This paper provides a new model based on the hybridization of wavelet and relaxed median filter for denoising of noisy medical images. The present study focuses on proposing a technique to reduce speckle and salt & pepper noise from CT (Computed Tomography) scan devices. In diagnosis of diseases, devices are frequently used by healthcare professionals. The main problem during diagnosis is the d...
