Abstract

Systems and methods for inspecting data generated during a scan of an object. One system includes a processor. The processor is configured to receive projection data generated by a CT scan of an object, generate a three-dimensional, volumetric data set based on the projection data, and automatically generate a plurality of cinematic frames of a cinematic sequence based on the three-dimensional, volumetric data set. Each of the plurality of cinematic frames has a different value for at least one parameter. The processor is also configured to automatically generate a signal to display the cinematic sequence in a frame-by-frame manner. In some embodiments, the processor continuously displays the cinematic sequence until a user accepts the three-dimensional, volumetric data set or stops the cinematic sequence (e.g., to perform a manual inspection of the three-dimensional, volumetric data set and / or re-initiate a scan of the object).

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the invention relate to medical imaging systems, such as dental imaging systems. In particular, embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for automatically inspecting dental volume images. Background technique [0002] Conventional computed tomography ("CT") systems capture three-dimensional data of a patient. After obtaining this information, the operator reviews the data to ensure that the CT scan includes the required data for treating the particular patient. For review or inspection of acquired data, existing systems generate a set of two-dimensional representations of volume images generated from scans. However, the operator must adjust the view of the image to visually inspect the volumetric image for quality and proper positioning of the patient for the intended purpose of the scan. Manually searching for specific views or aspects of volumetric images takes time, which prolongs the patient's CT scan (ie, the pa...
