Automatic segmentation of mandible in panoramic x-ray

Abstract: As the panoramic x-ray is the most common extraoral radiography in dentistry, segmentation of its anatomical structures facilitates diagnosis and registration of dental records. This study presents a fast and accurate method for automatic segmentation of mandible in panoramic x-rays. In the proposed four-step algorithm, a superior border is extracted through horizontal integral projections. A modified Canny edge detector accompanied by morphological operators extracts the inferior border of the mandible body. … Show more

“…Conventional approaches for mandible segmentation typically use pixel-based or model-based methods. In the past decade, some traditional semi-automatic and automatic methods have been developed to segment the mandible in CT scans (Gollmer & Buzug 2012) (Torosdagli et al 2017) (Chuang, Doherty, Adluru, Chung & Vorperian 2017) (Abdi, Kasaei & Mehdizadeh 2015) )(Mannion-Haworth, Bowes, Ashman, Guillard, Brett & Vincent 2015 . A statistical shape model for mandible segmentation was presented by Gollmer and Buzug in 2012 (Gollmer & Buzug 2012).…”

“…Such computer-assisted segmentation methods help reduce the time needed to create precise and accurate 3D mandible models, and can be particularly beneficial for large-scale studies. These methods have been devised for application in dental surgical/treatment planning 1,2 , orthodontic diagnoses 3 , and dental forensics 4 to reconstruct three dimensional (3D) mandible models from imaging studies such as panoramic x-rays, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT).…”
