Differential diagnosis of periapical diseases based on image analysis results

摘要

System (100) and method (200, 1600) for generating medical and / or dental diagnosis. The method includes obtaining a true color image of a selected portion of the subject's body, converting the true color image into a grayscale intensity image, and adjusting the contrast of the grayscale intensity image to equalize the histogram. Generating an image and processing the histogram equalized image to generate first information useful for generating medical and / or dental diagnosis, the first information comprising: (a) disease A step comprising: at least one of a ratio of the average pixel intensity value of the region to the average pixel intensity value of the normal region; and (b) an index indicating whether the periodontal ligament space has been expanded or destroyed; Generating a medical and / or dental diagnosis based at least on the information.
