  • Patent number: 11832977
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for producing a 2D panoramic image of an oral cavity comprising the steps: A) provision of a plurality of projection images acquired during an at least partial revolution of a recording unit comprising a radiation source and an electronic image sensor about the oral cavity in a given position; B) calculation of an image including at least one anatomical feature from the plurality of projection images using a calculation rule with reconstruction parameters; C) provision of a model of the at least one anatomical feature, which describes the at least one anatomical feature in a target position in an image; D) identification of the at least one anatomical feature in the calculated image; E) determination of a deviation between an actual position of the at least one identified anatomical feature in the calculated image and the target position of the at least one anatomical feature in the model by applying a metric; F) variation of at least one of the reconstruction parameter

  • Publication number: 20220160323
    Abstract: The resent invention relates to a method of x-ray projection geometry calibration in x-ray cone beam computed tomography, the method comprising: at least one step (S1) of obtaining two-dimensional x-ray images (1) or a sinogram (2) of at least a part of an object (3), generated through relatively rotating around the object (3) a detector and an x-ray source projecting x-rays towards the detector; characterized by further comprising: at least one step (S4) of detecting in the two dimensional x-ray images (1) or the sinogram (2) at least one feature (3a) of the object (3) by using a trained artificial intelligence algorithm; and at least one step (S5) of creating, based on the detection, calibration information which defines the geometry of the x-ray projection.
