Método baseado em processamento digital de imagens para diagnóstico precoce de micro-estruturas dentárias

Abstract

This work presents a new method based on digital image processing dedicated to establish diagnosis of dental microstructures. The system uses image techniques such as segmentation, Hough Transform for circular pattern recognition for dental microstructures, and Bayesian technique to classify patients that present different dental structures. Results show the qualification of the method. Also, the adoption of the DICOM standard has shown the suitability of the method to be used in clinical and specialized environments.
