1 is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus for reconstructing a three-dimensional image using dental CT images according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 100 for reconstructing a three-dimensional image using dental CT images according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a CT image receiving unit 110, a storage unit 120, a controller 130, 140). The control unit 130 may include a curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 and a three-dimensional image rendering unit 132.

The CT image receiving unit 110 can receive CT information from an external CT electronic device (not shown). Here, the CT information is information indicating the two-dimensional CT images generated through photographing the patient. For example, the CT image receiving unit 110 may include a communication module capable of receiving wired / wireless communication with an external electronic device, and may be connected to a network, and may receive 2D CT image information from an external CT electronic device connected to the network . The two-dimensional CT image information may be a CT panorama image.

As another example, the CT image receiving unit 110 may include a scan module capable of scanning a film on which a CT image is printed, and may generate CT information by scanning a plurality of printed films of the CT image.

Also, CT information may be received from the storage device storing the CT image.

Thereafter, the CT image receiving unit 110 may transmit the received two-dimensional CT image information to the surface reconstruction processing unit 131. [

The CT image receiving unit 110 may store the received two-dimensional CT image information in the storage unit 120. [ The two-dimensional CT image information of the stored patient becomes the object of the reconstruction of the 3D image surface in the future. More specifically, CT images of stored patients can be regenerated into a three-dimensional image after the surface reconstruction processing.

The curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 may perform a reconstruction operation on the two-dimensional CT image information received from the CT image receiving unit 110. [ Here, the reconstruction operation performed by the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 is an operation performed to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of CT information based on a two-dimensional image, and a curved planar reconstruction (CPR) method Can be performed.

More specifically, the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 can reconstruct a three-dimensional image using the CPR method from the CT information received from the CT image receiving unit 110, such as teeth, periodontal bone, maxilla, and mandible.

In addition, the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 constructs a basic curve axis along the upper and lower jaws of the patient in performing the reconstruction computation on the teeth, the periodontal bone, the upper and lower parts represented by the CT information, A smooth image can be reconstructed over existing three-dimensional image reconstruction schemes by designating a new axis in a direction perpendicular to the three-dimensional image reconstruction schemes.

For example, the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 of the present invention can perform a reconstruction operation including determining a maxilla or mandible as a tubular structure, and reconstructing a tooth and a periodontal bone derived from the structure have. The reconstructing step may further include reconstructing the planar surface of the curved surface to the upper and lower mandibles, dividing the planar surface into a plurality of curved surfaces according to the respective features. A more detailed description of reconstructing a three-dimensional image using the CPR method will be described later.

The curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 may transmit the reconstructed image information generated as a result of the reconstruction computation to the 3D image rendering unit 132. [

The 3D image rendering unit 132 may render the reconstructed image information received from the surface reconstruction processing unit 131 in three dimensions using an IVR (indirect volume rendering) method.

More specifically, the three-dimensional image rendering unit 132 reconstructs the reconstructed image information based on the anatomical information previously stored in the storage unit 120 into the structures of the teeth, the periodontal bone, the maxilla, and the mandible The 3D image information can be generated by dividing the image into the tooth structure image information, the periodontal bone structure image information, the maxilla structure image information, and the mandible structure image information, and re-reconstructing them.

For example, each functional unit may refer to a logical unit of a predetermined code and a hardware resource for executing the predetermined code, and may be a code physically connected to the functional unit, But can be easily deduced to the average expert in the field of the invention.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of reconstructing a three-dimensional image using dental CT images according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2, a CT image receiving unit 110 of an apparatus 100 for reconstructing a three-dimensional image using dental CT images according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an external CT electronic device (not shown) to a storage device Dimensional CT image information generated based on the CT image generated by photographing the subject and receiving the CT image information (S210).

In addition, the CT image receiving unit 110 may transmit the received two-dimensional CT image information to the surface reconstruction processing unit 131.

Then, the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 of the reconstruction apparatus 100 for reconstructing a three-dimensional image using the CT images of the dentistry performs a curved planar reconstruction (reconstruction) on the two-dimensional CT image information received from the CT image receiving unit 110, CPR) method to reconstruct the image information representing the tooth structure (S220).

The reconstruction of the image information by the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 may include determining a maxilla or mandible as a tubular structure and searching for teeth and periodontal bone derived from the structure to perform a reconstruction operation.

In addition, the step of performing the reconstruction calculation may further include a step of reconstructing a curve divided into planes on various surfaces of each object so as to match the features of each of the teeth, the periodontal bone, the periodontal bone, the maxillary bone, and the mandible .

This will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG.

The curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 may construct an initial curve 310 for the CT information received from the CT image receiving unit 110 (S221).

The initial curve 310 determines the maxilla or mandible as a tubular structure and builds along the maxilla and mandible. The initial curve thus constructed may appear as shown in FIG. 4, and a polynomial curve fitting method may be used to construct an initial curve.

Next, a centroid 320 is set for each tooth as shown in FIG. 5 (S222), and a final curve 330 is derived based on the center of the city as shown in FIG. 6 (S223) . Polynomial Curve Fitting can also be used to derive the final curve.

Since the position of the teeth varies from person to person, a curve that can accurately define the individual tooth position can be derived by deriving the initial curve as a final curve based on the center of the city.

Next, a curved surface is set along the final curve (S224).

7, the curved surface reconstruction processing unit 131 of the reconstructing apparatus 100 of the three-dimensional image is continuously arranged at regular intervals (for example, 1 mm) along the final curve 330 A plurality of curved surfaces can be set and a curved surface reconstruction operation can be performed according to the set curved surface. If we define the plane (plane in the vertical direction) along the final curve like this, the shape of the tooth comes out from each end face, so it can be defined in addition to the position of the tooth.

The reconstructed image information may be transmitted to the 3D image rendering unit 132. The 3D image rendering unit 132 may perform rendering based on the reconstructed image information received from the surface reconstruction processing unit 131 The 3D image information may be generated (S230).

For example, the 3D image rendering unit 132 may render the reconstructed image information received from the surface reconstruction processing unit 131 in three dimensions using an IVR (indirect volume rendering) method. For example, tri-linear interpolation can be used to interpolate the voxel values, which are three-dimensional units of pixels.

In addition, in the 3D rendering step, the 3D image rendering unit 132 reconstructs the reconstructed image information received based on the anatomical information previously stored in the storage unit 120 into a tooth, a periodontal bone, a maxilla, and a mandible A step of dividing the tooth structure image information, the periodontal bone structure image information, the maxillary structure image information, and the mandible structure image information according to each structure, and a step of dividing the created tooth structure image information, the periodontal bone structure image information, And generating three-dimensional image information through rendering to re-reconstruct the mandible structure image information.

The three-dimensional image rendering unit 132 may transmit the generated three-dimensional image information to the display unit 140. The display unit 140 of the reconstruction apparatus 100 for three- Dimensional image information received from the display unit 132 in step S240.

An exemplary three-dimensional image reconstructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.

The maximum intensity projection (MIP) method and the minP (min intensity projection) method, which are conventional computational methods for reconstructing a medical three-dimensional image, are classified into 3 methods, which are defined as axial, sagittal and coronal The MIP method takes the maximum brightness value and the mimP method takes the minimum brightness value when the projection line passes through a certain view point by collecting images of the vertical plane. However, in the conventional methods, when a slice thickness or a point of a slice is several times the size of one pixel of the resultant image, a low-quality image is a concern.

However, since the reconstructed three-dimensional image is reconstructed using the reconstruction method of the three-dimensional image using the dental CT images according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 8, Compared with the three-dimensional image generated by the image reconstruction method, a three-dimensional image having smoothness and high accuracy can be derived.

In addition, a method of reconstructing a three-dimensional image using dental CT images according to an embodiment of the present invention includes constructing a basic curve along the maxilla and mandible, defining a center for each tooth and forming a final curve along the point Therefore, it is possible to accurately define different tooth positions for each individual. As a result, the accuracy of the observation of a specific tooth area increases, and structures that could not be seen in reconstructed images by conventional methods may be seen.

In the case of a third molar called lover, among the dental treatment procedures, it may have the form of an implanted or lying in the alveolar bone and the gingiva. This may cause image distortion when CT images are taken. In such a case, distortion of the structure can be reduced by using the structure reconstruction method according to the present invention. In addition, procedures such as implantation that require a plan of operation through medical images can be reconstructed without distorting not only the teeth but also the alveolar bone, thereby increasing the success rate of the procedure.
