  • Patent number: 10413262
    Abstract: Disclosed are a mammography system and a mammography imaging method that can prevent a subject from being exposed to radiation more than necessary by setting an optimum imaging condition according to a thickness of a subject's breast, and can obtain a high-quality medical image by setting an optimum FOV and correcting projection data according to the thickness of the breast. The mammography system includes: a mammography imaging device including a detector and an X-ray tube, and obtaining X-ray image data of a subject's breast from multiple angles; a thickness obtaining unit obtaining information on a thickness of the breast; and a rotation angle calculator calculating a rotation angle range of the X-ray tube, based on the information of the thickness of the breast, wherein the mammography imaging device obtains the X-ray image data from multiple angles by performing radiography while rotating the X-ray tube within the rotation angle range.

  • Patent number: 9715732
    Abstract: The preset invention relates to an apparatus and a method for reconstructing a medical image for obtaining a 2D medical image (for example, a Cephalo image) from a 3D medical image (for example, a CT image), and a computer-readable recording medium keeping a program for implementing the method. In detail, the present invention provides an apparatus for reconstructing a medical image that includes: a 3D medical image obtaining unit obtaining 3D medical image information for making a 3D medical image of an object; a medical image overlapping unit overlapping the 3D medical image information in accordance with a radial beam path in a projection direction of a 2D medical image; and a 2D medical image obtaining unit obtaining and displaying the 2D medical image based on the overlapping result, and a method of reconstructing a medical image.

  • Publication number: 20160338804
    Abstract: Disclosed is a mouthpiece-type intraoral scanner which is including a mouthpiece-like housing extended along a set of teeth of a patient, a sensor module including a light source built in the housing to light an intraoral structure in a patient's mouth and a sensor installed to detect light reflected from the intraoral structure, and a main processor that is separate from the mouthpiece-like housing, generates three-dimensional information of the intraoral structure based on detection results of the sensor module, and controls the sensor module.
