[0017] An output device 1 and a program according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, an overview of the output device 1 of this embodiment will be described.

[0018] The output device 1 is a device capable of outputting an oral cavity image including teeth as subjects. The output device 1 is a device capable of outputting, for example, a visible image or an X-ray image including teeth as subjects as an oral cavity image. The output device 1 can display, for example, the visible image or the X-ray image on a screen. The output device 1 also outputs, as a table, the dental formulas and disease states of the teeth included as subjects in the oral cavity image. This allows the output device 1 to output data that can be linked to an electronic medical record using the oral cavity image and the table.

[0019] Here, the output device 1 can, for example, acquire an intraoral image and identify the condition of the teeth contained in the intraoral image, thereby identifying the position, dental formula, and disease state of the teeth. The output device 1 creates a table of the identification results and outputs the identification results superimposed on the acquired intraoral image, making it possible to easily recognize the condition of the teeth. The output device 1 is also capable of editing the identification results and adding new information. This allows the output device 1 to arbitrarily add information about identification errors and information that could not be identified. Therefore, the output device 1 can improve the flexibility of output.

[0020] Next, the output device 1 and the program according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The output device 1 is an output device 1 that outputs an image of an oral cavity including teeth as subjects and a table corresponding to the teeth. The output device 1 is, for example, a device that acquires an image of an oral cavity obtained by capturing an image of a patient's teeth and outputs a table showing the results of identifying the teeth along with the acquired oral cavity image. As shown in FIG. 1 , the output device 1 includes an image acquisition unit 11, an identification content storage unit 12, an identification unit 13, a table creation unit 14, an image creation unit 15, an output unit 16, a selection input acquisition unit 17, a linking unit 18, an edit input acquisition unit 19, and an edit execution unit 20.

[0021] The image acquisition unit 11 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The image acquisition unit 11 acquires oral cavity images. For example, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires oral cavity images captured by an imaging device (not shown) connected to a display device. In this embodiment, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires a plurality of oral cavity images captured from above, below, right, left, and the front of the oral cavity, for example.

[0022] The specific content storage unit 12 is, for example, a storage medium such as a hard disk. The specific content storage unit 12 stores data, etc., for detecting the condition of teeth included in the oral cavity image. The specific content storage unit 12 stores data, etc., for identifying the dental formula from the shape and position of the teeth. The specific content storage unit 12 stores data, etc., for detecting a disease from the shape, position, color, etc. of the disease included in the oral cavity image.

[0023] The identification unit 13 is realized by, for example, the operation of a CPU. The identification unit 13 identifies the tooth positions (including tooth angles), dental formula, disease positions, and disease types included in the acquired oral cavity image. The identification unit 13 identifies the content included in the acquired oral cavity image, for example, using data stored in the identification content storage unit 12. The identification unit 13 also identifies dental prostheses, implant members, and shades indicating tooth colors. The identification unit 13, for example, identifies a filling, crown, bridge, or denture as a dental prosthesis. The identification unit 13 also identifies a filling, for example, an amalgam filling (containing mercury), a resin filling, a glass ionomer cement filling, an inlay, a gold inlay, or ceramic. The identification unit 13 also identifies a crown, for example, a full metal crown, a veneer crown, a resin jacket, a core, a metal bond, a ceramic, or a zirconia. The identification unit 13 also identifies a bridge, for example, a pontic, a metal bond, or gold.

[0024] The identification unit 13 identifies, as the implant component, for example, a superstructure (artificial tooth), an abutment, an artificial tooth root, an implant part (fixture), and a screw (anchor).

[0025] The table creation unit 14 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The table creation unit 14 creates a table showing the status of teeth included in the acquired intraoral image. The table creation unit 14 creates a table that identifies the dental formulas in which pre-specified diseases exist and the types of diseases. The table creation unit 14 creates a table including the dental formula, the condition of the dental crown, and the condition of the gums, as shown in FIG. 2, for example. Specifically, the table creation unit 14 creates a table including the dental formula number, the presence or absence of a disease in the dental crown, and the presence or absence of a disease in the dental crown. The table creation unit 14 also creates a table showing the dental formula according to the arrangement of the teeth when viewed from the front. In this embodiment, the table creation unit 14 creates separate tables for the upper teeth and the lower teeth according to the arrangement of the teeth.

[0026] The image creation unit 15 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The image creation unit 15 creates an output image by overlaying a pre-identified tooth region and a dental formula corresponding to the tooth included in the tooth region on the oral cavity image. The image creation unit 15 also creates an output image by overlaying a pre-identified tooth disease region on the oral cavity image. For example, the image creation unit 15 creates an output image by overlaying a frame surrounding the tooth on the position of the identified tooth included in the oral cavity image. For example, the image creation unit 15 also creates an output image by overlaying a dental formula on a position close to the position of the identified tooth included in the oral cavity image but not overlapping the tooth. For example, the image creation unit 15 also creates an output image by overlaying a frame surrounding the position of the identified disease on the oral cavity image. For example, the image creation unit 15 creates an output image by overlaying a polygon surrounding the tooth disease region on the oral cavity image. Furthermore, the image creation unit 15 also creates an output image by overlaying a transparent color on the disease region.

[0027] The output unit 16 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The output unit 16 outputs the acquired intraoral cavity image and the created table. The output unit 16 outputs, for example, five intraoral cavity images as shown in FIG. 2. Specifically, the output unit 16 arranges an intraoral cavity image in which the upper teeth are imaged, an intraoral cavity image in which the lower teeth are imaged, an intraoral cavity image in which the left-side teeth are imaged, and an intraoral cavity image in which the right-side teeth are arranged, with an intraoral cavity image in which the teeth are imaged from the front at the center. Specifically, the output unit 16 arranges, with respect to the intraoral cavity image in which the upper teeth are imaged, a position corresponding to the upper part of the screen shown in FIG. 2 relative to the intraoral cavity image in which the teeth are imaged from the front, in the screen view shown in FIG. 2. The output unit 16 arranges, with respect to the intraoral cavity image in which the lower teeth are imaged, in the position corresponding to the lower part of the screen view shown in FIG. 2 relative to the intraoral cavity image in which the teeth are imaged from the front, in the screen view shown in FIG. 2. The output unit 16 arranges, with respect to the intraoral cavity image in which the left-side teeth are imaged, in the position corresponding to the left part of the screen view shown in FIG. 2. The output unit 16 places an image of the oral cavity, which is an image of the right side teeth, at a position corresponding to the right side of the paper surface of FIG. 2 in the screen view shown in FIG. 2, relative to the oral cavity image captured from the front.

[0028] 2, the output unit 16 outputs a table including the dental formula, the state of the dental crown, and the state of the gums for the oral cavity image at the top of the page in Fig. 2. The output unit 16 also outputs a table for the upper teeth and a table for the lower teeth.

[0029] The selection input acquisition unit 17 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The selection input acquisition unit 17 acquires a selection input of either a dental formula or a tooth area. The selection input acquisition unit 17 acquires a selection input of either a dental formula or a tooth area selected using an input device such as a mouse or a touch panel. The selection input acquisition unit 17 also acquires a selection input of either a disease or a tooth area. The selection input acquisition unit 17 acquires, for example, a selection input of either a disease content or a disease area. The selection input acquisition unit 17 acquires, for example, a selection input of either a disease content or a disease area selected using an input device such as a mouse.

[0030] The linking unit 18 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The linking unit 18 links the dental formula and tooth area included in the output table. The linking unit 18 also links the disease and tooth area included in the output table. For example, the linking unit 18 links and corresponds the dental formula included in the table with the position and area of ​​the tooth included in the oral cavity image. For example, the linking unit 18 also links and corresponds the condition of the tooth crown and the condition of the gum included in the table with the position and area of ​​the disease included in the oral cavity image.

[0031] With the above-described selection input acquisition unit 17, linking unit 18, and output unit 16, the output unit 16 outputs the linked one of the selected items in a manner that allows the other to be identified. For example, the output unit 16 clearly indicates that the region, tooth number, crown condition, or gingival condition of the other of the selected items corresponds to the selected one. The output unit 16 outputs, for example, using at least one of blinking, inversion, and highlighting. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the output unit 16 may enlarge and output the selected region (e.g., the region where a selection input is made by placing a mouse cursor or the like). Furthermore, the output unit 16 may enlarge and output detailed information about the crown condition and gingival condition (disease). The output unit 16 may also highlight the position of a table related to the selected region. In this way, the output unit 16 outputs an output image and a table so that the relationship between the selected region and the position of the related table can be easily recognized.

[0032] The editing input acquisition unit 19 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires inputs of tooth regions and tooth disease regions to be edited as editing inputs. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires the tooth region or tooth disease region of the oral cavity image to be edited as editing inputs. The editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires the tooth region or tooth disease region to be edited as editing inputs, for example, using an input device such as a mouse. The editing input acquisition unit 19 also acquires, for example, enlargement or reduction of the tooth region or disease region, change in disease state, etc. as editing inputs. The editing input acquisition unit 19 also acquires, for example, change in tooth number, addition of unspecified disease region and content as editing inputs.

[0033] The editing input acquisition unit 19 also acquires the editing content of the table as editing input. For example, the editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires the selection of the position of the table to be edited and the input of the content to be corrected or added as editing input. The editing input acquisition unit 19 also acquires, for example, input to change the positions of the vertices of a frame represented by a polygon as editing input to change an area. Furthermore, the editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires input of multiple vertices for a newly added area, thereby acquiring the input as editing input that specifies an area surrounded by a polygon connecting the multiple vertices.

[0034] The editing execution unit 20 is realized, for example, by the operation of a CPU. The editing execution unit 20 edits tooth regions and tooth disease regions based on the acquired editing input. The editing execution unit 20 also edits the contents of the table based on the acquired editing input. For example, the editing execution unit 20 executes editing by changing the position of a line surrounding a disease region displayed overlaid on the oral cavity image based on the editing input. The editing execution unit 20 also executes editing by changing the disease content or tooth number based on the editing input. For example, the editing execution unit 20 executes editing by matching the tooth region or disease region linked by the linking unit 18 with the tooth number, crown condition, or gum condition in the table. For example, when the disease region and condition of an arbitrary tooth number are changed, the editing execution unit 20 executes editing of both the identification result overlaid on the oral cavity image and the disease condition to be included in the table. The editing execution unit 20 executes editing of, for example, dental formula numbers, crown lesions, crown conditions, gingival lesions, gingival conditions, and shade levels. The editing execution unit 20 edits tooth regions and dental disease regions based on, for example, input of vertices of polygons that specify tooth regions and dental disease regions or input of tracing the boundaries of the regions.

[0035] Next, the operation of the output device 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires an intraoral image (step S1). Next, the identification unit 13 identifies the positions and disease states of the teeth included in the intraoral image (step S2).

[0036] Next, the table creation unit 14 creates a table showing the state of the teeth included in the intraoral image based on the identification result (step S3). Next, the image creation unit 15 creates an output image in which frames showing the tooth areas and diseased areas included in the intraoral image and tooth numbers are superimposed on the intraoral image based on the identification result (step S4). Next, the output unit 16 outputs the created table and the output image (step S5).

[0037] Next, it is determined whether or not a selection input has been made (step S6). If a selection input has been made (step S6: YES), the process proceeds to step S7. On the other hand, if a selection input has not been made (step S6: NO), the process proceeds to step S8.

[0038] In step S7, the output unit 16 outputs the content corresponding to the selected content in an identifiable manner. Then, the process proceeds to step S8.

[0039] In step S8, it is determined whether or not there is editing input. If there is editing input (step S8: YES), the process proceeds to step S9. On the other hand, if there is no editing input (step S8: NO), the process proceeds to step S10.

[0040] In step S9, the edit execution unit 20 executes editing based on the edit input, and then the process proceeds to step S10.

[0041] In step S10, it is determined whether or not to end the output. If it is to be ended (step S10: YES), the processing according to this flow ends. On the other hand, if it is not to be ended (step S10: NO), the processing returns to step S6.

[0042] Next, the program will be described. Each component included in the output device 1 can be realized by hardware, software, or a combination of these. Here, being realized by software means being realized by a computer reading and executing a program.

[0043] The program can be stored and supplied to a computer using various types of non-transitory computer-readable media. Non-transitory computer-readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer-readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R / Ws, and semiconductor memories (e.g., mask ROMs, PROMs (Programmable ROMs), EPROMs (Erasable PROMs), flash ROMs, and RAMs (Random Access Memory)). The display program may also be supplied to a computer by various types of transitory computer-readable media. Examples of transitory computer-readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The transitory computer-readable medium can supply the program to a computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire or optical fiber, or via a wireless communication path.

[0044] The output device 1 according to the present embodiment described above provides the following advantages. (1) An output device 1 that outputs an image of an oral cavity that includes teeth as subjects and a table corresponding to the teeth, and includes an image acquisition unit 11 that acquires the image of the oral cavity, a table creation unit 14 that creates a table showing the status of the teeth included in the acquired image of the oral cavity, an image creation unit 15 that creates an output image by superimposing a pre-specified tooth area on the image of the oral cavity and a dental formula corresponding to the tooth included in the tooth area, and an output unit 16 that outputs the acquired image of the oral cavity and the created table. This allows the oral cavity image to be output in a manner that makes the state of the teeth easily recognizable.

[0045] (2) The table creation unit 14 creates a table that identifies the tooth formulas and types of diseases that are pre-specified, and the image creation unit 15 creates an output image by overlaying the pre-specified areas of dental disease on the intraoral image. This allows the overall dental condition to be output as a table, and the dental condition can be easily recognized in the intraoral image.

[0046] (3) The image creation unit 15 creates an output image by superimposing a polygon surrounding the area of ​​dental disease on the oral cavity image, thereby enabling the area to be flexibly expressed according to the shape of the disease.

[0047] (4) The output device 1 may further include a linking unit 18 that links the dental formula and tooth regions included in the output table, and a selection input acquisition unit 17 that acquires a selection input of either the dental formula or the tooth regions, and the output unit 16 may output the linked one in a identifiable manner with the selected one. This allows the correspondence between the oral cavity image and the table to be output in an easily identifiable manner.

[0048] (5) The output device 1 further includes a linking unit 18 that links the diseases and tooth regions included in the output table and a selection input acquisition unit 17 that acquires a selection input of either the disease or the tooth region, and the output unit 16 outputs the linked one in a identifiable manner with the selected one. This makes it possible to output the correspondence between the oral cavity image and the table in an easily identifiable manner.

[0049] (6) The output device 1 includes an edit input acquisition unit 19 that acquires inputs of tooth regions and tooth disease regions to be edited as edit inputs, and an edit execution unit 20 that edits the tooth regions and tooth disease regions based on the acquired edit inputs. This allows for easy editing of tooth regions, disease regions, and disease details. This improves the flexibility of the output device 1.

[0050] (7) The edit input acquisition unit 19 acquires the edit content of the table as the edit input, and the edit execution unit 20 edits the content of the table based on the acquired edit input. This improves the flexibility of the output device 1.

[0051] Although a preferred embodiment of the output device of the present disclosure has been described above, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiment and can be modified as appropriate.

[0052] For example, in the above embodiment, the output unit 16 may be configured to not only display the table and the oral cavity image on a screen, but also print them on paper or the like.

[0053] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the output unit 16 is not limited to outputting five intraoral images, and may output a plurality of intraoral images, such as nine or twelve.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the output unit 16 may display a table showing the corresponding tooth number, crown, and gingiva in a recognizable manner for the region of the intraoral image from which the edited input was acquired. For example, the output unit 16 may highlight the table corresponding to the edited input using a frame or the like.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the output unit 16 displays the upper teeth table on the side of the position of the upper teeth and the lower teeth table on the side of the position of the lower teeth, sandwiching the oral cavity image therebetween, but is not limited to this. The output unit 16 may also display the upper and lower teeth tables side by side.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the specifying unit 13 may specify display positions of multiple oral cavity images. The specifying unit 13 may, for example, recognize the imaging direction of the oral cavity images to specify output positions of the oral cavity images. The editing input acquiring unit 19 may acquire input to change the output positions of the oral cavity images.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires input of multiple vertices for a newly added region, thereby acquiring the input as editing input specifying a region surrounded by a polygon connecting the multiple vertices. Furthermore, when a change in the disease region and condition of a given tooth number is made, the editing execution unit 20 edits both the identified results to be overlaid on the oral cavity image and the disease condition to be included in the table. In addition, the editing input acquisition unit 19 may acquire input specifying a partial region of one oral cavity image as the region to be edited. As shown in FIG. 6 , the editing execution unit 20 may identify the range of a corresponding region in another oral cavity image for a specified region in one oral cavity image and edit the identified region in the other oral cavity image. For example, the editing execution unit 20 may identify the relative position of the region to be edited in the other image relative to the identified tooth position by specifying the relative position of the input relative to the identified tooth position. Furthermore, the editing execution unit 20 may reflect the same content in both of the gingival conditions of the two teeth in the table for a gingival lesion that straddles two teeth.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the table creation unit 14 may further display intraoral conditions other than the dental formula, dental crown, and shade. The image creation unit 15 may create an output image by superimposing an area indicating a location corresponding to an intraoral condition other than the dental formula, dental crown, and shade on the oral cavity image. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the table creation unit 14 may further display intraoral conditions other than the dental formula, dental crown, and shade (e.g., sublingual cancer) in other columns. For example, the image creation unit 15 may create an output image by superimposing an area indicating a location of sublingual cancer on the oral cavity image.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the output device 1 may output data useful for orthodontic treatment. Specifically, the identification unit 13 may identify the occlusion state of the teeth included in the intraoral image as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. The identification unit 13 may identify, for example, the magnitude of deviation from an ideal occlusion as the occlusion state. The identification unit 13 may identify deviations in the occlusion state by extracting, for example, from multiple images, deviations in the vertical direction of a rectangle surrounding the identified teeth, deviations in the center points of the teeth, and deviations in the periphery of the teeth, relative to the ideal tooth position. The image creation unit 15 may indicate deviations in the tooth position relative to the ideal occlusion position. The table creation unit 14 may create a table that numerically indicates the magnitude of occlusion deviation. If the magnitude of occlusion deviation is greater than a predetermined value, the table creation unit 14 may highlight the corresponding occlusion deviation. The image creation unit 15 may also display a reference line related to the tooth position as shown in FIG. 8.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the editing input acquisition unit 19 acquires an input of multiple vertices for a newly added region, thereby acquiring the editing input that specifies a region surrounded by a polygon connecting the multiple vertices. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The editing input acquisition unit 19 may also acquire an input of two points as the editing input. The editing execution unit 20 may also designate a rectangular region with a line connecting the two points as a diagonal line as the designated region. [Explanation of symbols]
