  • Method and System for Generating Dental Images from MRI-Data
    Publication number: 20240412852
    Abstract: A method, system, and controller for generating dental images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data are described. The method may include acquiring scout magnetic resonance (MR) images of a head, including a number of teeth of an upper and/or a lower jaw; automatically identifying the teeth in the scout MR images and determining positions of the identified teeth; defining a number of regions around the determined positions of the teeth, the regions representing a volume along a dental arch; acquiring a number of diagnostic MR images of at least the defined number of regions having a higher resolution than the scout MR images; generating a panoramic image based on the number of diagnostic MR images and the defined number of regions; and outputting the panoramic image.

  • Knee prosthesis system with at least a first tibial portion element (a tibial insert or tibial trial) and a second tibial portion element (a tibial insert or tibial trial), wherein each of the first tibial portion element and the second tibial portion element has a different slope
    Patent number: 8414653
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention relates to a knee prosthesis system with at least a first tibial portion element (a tibial insert or a tibial insert trial) and a second tibial portion element (a tibial insert or a tibial insert trial), wherein each of the first tibial portion element and the second tibial portion element has a different slope. Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of implanting a knee prosthesis, wherein the method utilizes at least a first tibial portion element (a tibial insert or a tibial insert trial) and a second tibial portion element (a tibial insert or a tibial insert trial), wherein each of the first tibial portion element and the second tibial portion element has a different slope.
