In this paper, we propose novel algorithms for retrieving dental images from databases by their contents. Based on special information of dental images, for better content-based dental image retrieval and representation, the image attributes are used. We propose Dental Image Segmentation and Retrieval (DISR), a content-based image retrieval method that is robust to translation and scaling of th...

background the first commercial system for digital radiography was introduced in 1987, and it has evolved a great deal since then. currently, it is possible to enhance images in digital radiography. objectives the aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of image enhancement in direct digital radiography as it relates to interproximal carries assessment. conclusions using these ...

objectives : optimum viewing conditions facilitate identification of radiographic details and decrease the need for retakes, patients’ costs and radiation dose. this study sought to evaluate the effects of different viewing conditions on radiographic interpretation. materials and methods: this diagnostic study was performed by evaluating radiograph of a 7mm-thick aluminum block, in which 10 hol...

In medical field, digital images are produced in ever increasing quantities and used for diagnostics and therapy. The swift expansion of digital medical images has enforced the requirement of efficient Content-based image retrieval system for retrieving medical images that are visually similar to query image. Such systems provide great assistance to doctors in clinical care and research. In thi...

Introduction: Dental radiography as one of the most frequent type of radiological examinations is accepted for medical investigations due to their significant benefits nevertheless using ionizing radiation. It has lower radiation dose compared to another radiological examination but because of its high application for children, radiation dose needs attention. Based on affectin...

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...
