Dental CT Diagnostic Images

 This is a magnified Sagittal image view in MPR (Multi-Plane Reconstruction). Through this view, we were able to check the exact location of the Mandible Canal and its relation to the condition of the Alveolar Bone surrounding the tooth.




 Shown above are image views in Cross-Sectional function. We were able to get exact measurement of the length from tooth no.48 to the Mandible canal, and we were able to compare it to the measurement from the Panoramic view.




 Through the Cross-Sectional view of tooth no.45, we were able to check the actual condition of the Alveolar Bone.




 Shown above is a Bone density Profile graphing function. Through this function, we were able to check the Bone Quantity of the area within tooth no.45 by comparing it with the Bone Density of its adjacent region.




 Shown above is a Cross-Sectional view of tooth no.46 after the treatment.




 Shown above is a Cross-Sectional view of tooth no. 45 after the treatment.




 The illustration above shows a General-Curve function. Through this function, we were able to check the 3D image of the sliced Panoramic view by utilizing VR (Virtual Reality) mode, and by comparing the before and after treatment conditions.
