Publication number: 20230149128Abstract: A computer-implemented method for monitoring teeth position during treatment includes segmenting three-dimensional dental X-ray image data of teeth in a first treatment state and segmenting optical-scan (OS) image data of the teeth in a second treatment state. The position and orientation of each segmented X-ray crown is compared with the position and orientation of each segmented OS crown to determine any relative position differences and any relative orientation differences. Each segmented X-ray root is repositioned and/or reoriented according to the relative position differences and/or any relative orientation differences, if any, between the corresponding segmented OS and X-ray crowns. The OS crown and the X-ray root are then fused so simulate the roots in the second treatment state without exposing the patient to additional radiation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2022Publication date: May 18, 2023Inventors: Daniel Abraham, Chen Porat

Publication number: 20160106565Abstract: Apparatus (4020) comprising a pancreaticobiliary secretion-diversion guide (4030) for use with secretions that enter a gastrointestinal tract at an anatomical entry location. Guide (4030) comprises first and second anchors (4252/4054) which apply pressure to the wall of the tract. A resilient connecting element (2037) is coupled to the anchors. A collection-facilitation tube (2080) is between the anchors and in contact with and around element (2037). Tube (2080) has an inner surface (2045) and an outer surface (2046), the inner surface defining a lumen for passage of food. The outer surface inhibits contact of the secretions with food and defines a space (7) between the outer surface and the tract. A diversion tube (2090) is in fluid communication with the space and passes secretions from the space distally. An intragastric anchor (4152) coupled to the guide maintains the guide in place. Other applications are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2014Publication date: April 21, 2016Applicant: ENDOBETIX LTD.Inventors: Pierre SHARVIT, Chen PORAT, Shlomo LEWKOWICZ, Tanhum FELD
