Electronic imaging dental record management system

InactiveUS20050043970A1Quickly and easily and analyzeQuickly and easily viewCharacter and pattern recognitionOffice automationDental recordTherapy planning
A computerized electronic dental record management system that allows dentists to quickly and easily view and analyze patient's dental conditions and clearly explain and show their diagnosis to the patients. The dentist uses a flexible thin camera to take photographs or images of the teeth. These images are stored in a patient's electronic dental record. At any time, the dentist can use these images to analyze or diagnose the patient's condition and formulate a treatment plan. The dentist can also use these images to clearly show and explain the patient's condition and proposed treatment plan to the patient. Additionally, using a hand-held monitor, the patient can also view the images in real time as the dentist is inspecting the patient's teeth.

Method for estimation of size and analysis of connectivity of bodies in 2- and 3-dimensional data

A method for performing region growing in a data volume that accounts for noise in the data on a probabilistic basis. The data volume is divided into discrete cells, and a probability distribution for each cell's datum value is calculated. Each probability distribution is randomly sampled to generate one probabilistic, noise-free realization for the data volume, and region growing is performed using selected criteria. The process is repeated for different realizations until sufficient statistics are accumulated to estimate the probable size and connectivity of objects discovered.

Ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus and elastic image display method

An elastic image suitable for diagnosis is easily acquired without depending on the examiner's pressure technique. The displacement of tissue in a tomographic portion of an object is measured on the basis of a pair of RF signal frame data items regarding the tomographic portion, which are obtained at different times by transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave to and from the object (b). The average displacement of each beam line (d0 to dn) of an ultrasonic wave is calculated (c), and a displacement gradient (50) in the scanning direction of an ultrasonic probe is calculated on the basis of the displacement average (d). A correction coefficient (52) with respect to the displacement of each beam line is calculated on the basis of the calculated displacement gradient (e), and the displacement distribution measured on the basis of the calculated correction coefficient is corrected (f). In this manner, even if the object is pressed by an ultrasonic probe inclined along the scanning direction, an elastic image generated by pressing the object with the ultrasonic probe not inclined along the scanning direction can be generated in a pseudo manner by correcting the displacement distribution on the basis of the correction coefficient.

Wide dynamic range active pixel with knee response

A pixel circuit, and a method for operating a pixel circuit, to provide a multiple knee response characteristic. In one embodiment of the invention, one or more feed-through pulse (FTP) signals are transmitted to an integration node to end a first linear integration time period. The FTP signal allows electrons to drain from the integration node to a reset node through a transfer gate. After the first integration period, a second linear integration period is conducted on the pixel circuit, where the photo conversion gain of the pixel circuit becomes reduced under higher illumination conditions due to the drained node. Such operation creates a pixel with a photo response having multiple “knee” points, where each “knee” in the photo response curve will create separate regions whose photo sensitivities can be independently controlled with minimal thermal interference. By setting different voltage levels for the FTP signal and by controlling the integration time periods, the photo-response of the pixel circuit can be easily controlled.
