Today digital medical imaging starts to be more introduced in the daily practice for clinical, educational, research uses. The work reported in this paper is done within the context of the Research Project UEFISCDI No. 31/2014, “AIMMS - Application for Using Image Data Mining and 3D Modeling in Dental Screening”. AIMMS provides an integrated platform to support dental treatment methods using the most...
The opportunities offered by mobile technology continue to expand with the advances in wireless broadband. These days there are a lot of entrenched business solutions, upgraded for mobile devices, which likewise have direct use to services of the government services, work environment practices and involvement of stakeholders. Each advance has challenges. The usage of M-Government will bring several...
This paper is made within the context of the research UEFISCDI project no. 31/2014, “AIMMS — Application for Using Image Data Mining and 3D Modeling in Dental Screening”. The project is interdisciplinary and wants to build a system framework composed of several sub-systems: dental pathology recognition part, 3D printing part, user interface part. The main emphasis of this article regards the pathology...
Molecular dynamics facilitates the simulation of a complex system to be analyzed at molecular and atomic levels. Simulations can last a long period of time, even months. Due to this cause the graphics processing units (GPUs) and multi-core systems are used as solutions to overcome this impediment. The current paper describes a comparison done between these two kinds of systems. The first system used...
In this paper, we explore the possibilities to detect and label straightforward the teeth in Cone Beam Computed Tomography images, without performing complex segmentation procedures on teeth. We are using the Circular Hough Transform (CHT) to find the teeth positions, segmentation using intensity level to determine the mandible and deformable templates to find the best fit position for the teeth on...
Edge detection is an important task in image processing, many times as part of the segmentation process. When segmentation is performed in medical imaging, one of the preferred tools is neural networks, because of their capabilities of adaptive learning and non-linear mapping. We present in this paper the neural network tools used for edge detection and we propose one that is able to perform edge...
Molecular dynamics (MD) studies the structure of molecular systems which are subject to certain constraints and forces. The simulation of particles is a tool for examining atomic systems during a period of nanoseconds in which the trajectory of atoms and the state of the system is analyzed. GROMACS is a package which supports molecular dynamics simulations and energy minimization, being started the...
The algorithm described in this paper is part of a program supporting the process of teeth contour detection, segmentation and 3D reconstruction. The data is taken from dental conical tomographies. Automatic contour detection starts by filtering the image according to an adaptive threshold. The region of interest is established and the tooth contour is determined using the possible edge directions...
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is one of the favorite imaging technologies in dentistry because if offers 3D images in conditions of reduced irradiation. High quality 3D imaging is essential for first-rate diagnostic and treatment, despite the rather low quality images, with low contrast and high noise. The paper presents an automatic method for 3D reconstruction of the oral cavity. We analyze...
Enterprise knowledge is a key asset in the competing and fast-changing corporate landscape. The ability to learn, store and distribute implicit and explicit knowledge can be the difference between success and failure. While enterprise knowledge management is a well-defined research domain, current implementations lack orientation towards small and medium enterprise. We propose a semantic search engine...
The simulations done in molecular dynamics (MD) are used to learn about the behavior of macromolecular systems. While analyzing large macromolecular systems, the computation can last long, many times for days, weeks and months, due to which the need of parallelization occurs for shortening the time. The graphics processing unit (GPU) yields to multithread computational capacity by the use of CUDA...
We present in this paper a fast method for the reconstruction of the dental 3D structure using the images obtained from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). A high-quality visualization of the dental tissues, including 3D reconstruction, is essential for the accurate diagnosis and treatment in dentistry. The segmentation for the dental CBCT images presents several major problems because of the noisiness...
We will present in this paper a method for the reconstruction of the oral 3D structure using Computed Tomography (CT) sections obtained from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). A high-quality visualization of the dental tissues, based nowadays on fine 3D reconstruction, is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatments. Dental CBCT images present several major problems because of the noisiness...
