    摘要: A method for determining dental alignment of a 3-dimensional model of one or more teeth of a patient comprises the steps of: (a) obtaining a radiograph of the teeth of the patient; (b) obtaining a digital image from the radiograph indicative of the dental alignment of the teeth relative to a dental arch of the patient; (c) overlaying the 3-dimensional model of the teeth with the digital image obtained from the radiograph; (d) determining vertical and horizontal mis-alignment of the teeth in the 3-dimensional model relative to the digital image obtained from the radiograph; and (e) adjusting the 3-dimensional model to correct for the mis-alignment, thereby producing an adjusted 3-dimensional model of the teeth that is corrected for the vertical and horizontal alignment of the teeth relative to the dental arch.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for making an apparatus for skin testing includes a housing with an opening which defines a field of view of a skin testing region, an image sensing apparatus, an illumination apparatus, a binding apparatus, and an image processing controller. The image sensing apparatus is positioned with respect to the housing to capture images in the field of view provided by the opening. The illumination apparatus is positioned within the housing to direct light towards a portion of the field of view provided by the opening. The binding apparatus detachably secures the housing over the skin testing region and maintains a fixed distance between the image sensing apparatus and the skin testing region. The controller is configured to analyze test samples sites in each of the captured images from the image sensing apparatus and provide a skin test result for each of the test sample sites.

    摘要: A method of comparing the size of a feature in sequential X-ray images includes the steps of: forming first and second sequential X-ray images including an image of the feature, an image of a first target located directly adjacent the feature and an image of a second target located between the object and an X-ray detector; calculating scale factors for the first and second X-ray images based on the relative sizes of the images of the first and second targets in the X-ray images; measuring the sizes of the feature in the first and second X-ray images; adjusting the measured sizes of the feature in the first and second X-ray images by the respective scale factors; and comparing the adjusted measured sizes. A computer program product for performing the method is also provided.
