Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method for quantifying a pigmented lesion using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). The method includes (a) irradiating light and receiving an interference signal produced by reflection of the light from first and second boundary layers of a pigmented lesion; and (b) calculating size information of the pigmented lesion using phase information of the interference signal. According to embodiments of the present invention, there is an advantage of allowing calculation of size information of a pigmented lesion using OCT, by increasing a measurement range in the axial direction to which beams are irradiated.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a curing light with a heat dissipation structure, including: a light source for emitting light for curing a gum inflammation treatment material including a photosensitizer; a control board for controlling the light source; a housing for accommodating the light source and the control board; and heat sinks for dissipating the heat generated from the light source, wherein the heat sinks include: a first heat sink adapted to accommodate the light source and dissipate the heat generated from the light source; and a second heat sink coupled to the first heat sink in such a way as to accommodate the light source, together with the first heat sink, and having a light transmission hole through which the light emitted from the light source is transmitted.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a three-dimensional oral cavity scan device for a digital impression that obtains a three-dimensional image by processing a two-dimensional image acquired by photographing a three-dimensional subject in an oral cavity. The device includes: a pattern mask converting parallel light incident thereto into structured light; a piezoelectric plate where a mechanical vibration is generated on a surface thereof by an AC voltage applied thereto; and a power supply unit applying the AC voltage to the piezoelectric plate, wherein the piezoelectric plate moves the pattern mask in a longitudinal direction of the piezoelectric plate by using the mechanical vibration. The device can reduce noise and vibration by moving the pattern mask with an electrical method. In addition, the device can accurately measure depth of teeth by electrically controlling a focal length of structured light projected on the teeth.
Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus for acquiring and projecting a broadband image, the apparatus including: a probe unit provided, on a probe housing of the probe unit, with a white light source unit configured to emit white light for acquiring a visible light image to a subject, a fluorescence excitation light source unit configured to emit fluorescence excitation light for acquiring an invisible light fluorescence image, and an image acquisition unit configured to receive an invisible light fluorescence image signal for the subject, and an image projection unit configured to project an image onto the subject; and an image processing unit configured to process an image received from the image acquisition unit. According to the apparatus for acquiring and projecting a broadband image, the visible light image and the invisible light fluorescence image may be simultaneously acquired and then displayed, and the acquired fluorescence image is projected onto a position where a fluorescence signal may be revealed, thus visually providing a position and shape in which the fluorescence signal is generated.
