Book Description

Dental image processing for person identification focuses on using digital dental X-rays or photographs to establish a person's identity. Each person has a unique dental "signature" defined by the number of teeth, their position, shape, size, and any dental work like fillings, crowns, or implants. Similar to general dental processing, initial steps involve noise reduction and image enhancement for better analysis. Extracted features are compared to a database of dental records, which could be antemortem (pre-mortem) X-rays of a missing person or postmortem X-rays of unidentified remains. Matching algorithms analyze the similarity between features. While not a foolproof method, dental image processing can provide strong evidence for identification, especially when combined with other forensic techniques like DNA analysis. Overall, dental image processing offers a promising tool for forensic identification, particularly when used alongside other methods.

Book Description

This book is an up-to-date guide to the performance and interpretation of imaging studies in dental radiology. After opening discussion of the choice of X-ray equipment and materials, intraoral radiography, panoramic radiography, cephalometric radiology, and cone-beam computed tomography are discussed in turn. With the aid of many illustrated examples, patient preparation and positioning are thoroughly described for each modality. Common technical errors and artifacts are identified and the means of avoiding them, explained. The aim is to equip the reader with all the information required in order to perform imaging effectively and safely. The normal radiographic anatomy and landmarks are then discussed, prior to thorough coverage of frequent dentomaxillofacial lesions. Accompanying images display the characteristic features of each lesion. Further topics to be addressed are safety precautions for patients and staff. The book will be an ideal aid for all dental practitioners and will also be of value for dental students.

Book Description

It is my pleasure to write the preface for Information Processing and Management. This book aims to bring together innovative results and new research trends in inf- mation processing, computer science and management engineering. If an information processing system is able to perform useful actions for an obj- tive in a given domain, it is because the system knows something about that domain. The more knowledge it has, the more useful it can be to its users. Without that kno- edge, the system itself is useless. In the information systems field, there is conceptual modeling for the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge a particular information system needs to know. The main objective of conceptual modeling is to obtain that description, which is called a conceptual schema. Conceptual schemas are written in languages called conceptual modeling languages. Conceptual modeling is an important part of requi- ments engineering, the first and most important phase in the development of an inf- mation system.
