An intelligent visual task system for lateral skull X-ray images
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes research into structured, knowledge-based image interpretation. An integrated framework has been developed, within which most tasks associated with the automatic interpretation and analysis of lateral skull X-ray images (cephalometry) can be performed. A model-based image analysis system makes use of a blackboard architecture and multiple knowledge sources. Its performance compares favourably to previously published attempts to automate cephalometric analysis.

An Intelligent Segmentation System for Lateral Skull X-Ray Images
This paper describes research into knowledge-based image interpretation in clinical orthodontics. Similar work on knowledge-based methods is reviewed. We consider how a tiered knowledge-based system may provide an effective solution to the problems encountered. An autonomous intelligent segmentation system, for finding model-based features in lateral skull x-ray images, is described. Initial re...
متن کامل3D Skull Warping from 2D X-Ray Lateral and PA Images
Methods Normally the 3D skull data from individual patients can be obtained from CT scanner. However, the overhead expenses and the maintenance costs of a CT machine have deterred many dentists and orthodontists from possessing the machine, so only a few orthodontists use the CT for diagnosis and treatment comparing to the x-ray images that are standard procedures for orthodontic measurements. ...

Introduction: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the major causes of visual loss among the elderly. It causes degeneration of cells in the macula. Early diagnosis can be helpful in preventing blindness. Drusen are the initial symptoms of AMD. Since drusen have a wide variety, locating them in screening images is difficult and time-consuming. An automated digital fundus photography...
متن کاملOptimization of Radiological Protection in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Common Conventional Radiological Procedures: Effectiveness of Increasing the Film to Focus Distance (FFD)
Background Increasing the x-ray film to focus distance (FFD), has been recommended as a practical dose optimization tool for patients undergoing conventional radiological procedures. In the previous study, we demonstrated a 32% reduction in absorbed dose is achievable due to increasing the FFD from 100 to 130 cm during pediatric chest radiography. The aim of this study was to examine whether in...
متن کاملLocal Diagnostic Reference Levels for Some Common Diagnostic X-Ray Examinations In Sabzevar County of Iran
Introduction: Diagnostic reference level (DRL) is a useful tool for the promotion of optimization. The national DRLs (NDRLs) are useful, brief, and robust guidelines for optimizing radiation protection in a country. The aim of this study was to extract the local DRLs (LDRLs) for some common radiologic examination in Sabzevar county. Materials and Methods: There are eight radiology departments ...
