There is heightened optimism about the potential of 3D visualization software as an alternative learning resource in radiology education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3D visualization software on students' learning of oral radiographic interpretation from 2D radiographic images. Fourth-year dental students underwent a learning intervention phase of radiographic int...

With 3D scans, detailed models of both coin sides can be obtained which allow a more accurate analysis. When using virtual 3D models of a coin, high accuracy is a prerequisite for further coin documentation and coin identification processes. The difference between the original coin model and its virtual 3D model counterpart should be as minimal as possible. In this paper, we present an evaluati...

We specify a 3D network-distributed virtual environment (DVE) where students learn computer graphics programming. The client/server software consists of a programming environment, the 3D DVE that is used to develop dynamic link libraries (DLLs) to generate 3D graphics. The software distributes a DLL to remote clients in an automatic way, and allows students to view the output of the DLL togethe...

The purpose of our study was to compare the accuracy of an unconventional, non-invasive and relatively inexpensive Microscribe (3D digitizer) with a standard widely used and expensive CT-Scan and/or MRI for 3D reconstruction of a human skull, which will be used for biomechanics studies. Two models of the human skull were developed (reconstructed), one using the 3D coordinates generated by the M...

Abstract – At the École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS), software process improvement (SPI) is taught in lecture format and with a 10-week implementation project in an organization by teams of students of the graduate software engineering curriculum. The SPI course is taught using a ‘problemgoal-solution’ approach where students learn that any process improvement initiative must be based on iss...

Objective: To assess the effect of metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm two cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) software programs on accuracy peri-implant bone width measurements. Material and Methods: This in vitro study evaluated 35 bovine rib blocks measuring 8 x 11 mm. Titanium implants were inserted placed a wax model mandible. CBCT scans obtained with ProMax 3D Cranex systems without...
