The use of digital image processing has gained acceptance in dental diagnostic science. The major limitation of direct digital radiography (D D R) is noise. Noise in digital radiography may result from sources other than variation in projection geometry during exposure. Structure noise consists of all anatomic features other than those of diagnostic interest. Limitations of plain radiographs in detecting early, small bone lesions are also due to the presence of structure noise. This study will be under taken to apply image processing as an attempt to remove structure noise in digital dental radiography by using derivative original image. After derivative original image, the validity of the digitized image in detecting disease is enhanced.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
