SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONSTRUCTING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL FROM TWO-DIMENSIONAL IMAGES
Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a user's dental arch based on two-dimensional (2D) images of dental impressions include a model training system that provides a machine learning model using training image(s) of a dental impression of a respective dental arch and a 3D training model of the respective dental arch. A model generation system receives first image(s) of a first dental impression of a user's dental arch and second image(s), which may be of the first dental impression or a second dental impression of the dental arch. The model generation system generates a first and second 3D model of the dental arch by applying the first image(s) and second image(s) to the machine learning model.
Remotely adjustable interactive bone reshaping implant
According to some embodiments, systems and methods for reshaping bone are provided. The systems may include an implant body, an actuator coupled to the implant body, a sensor configured to detect a parameter indicative of a biological condition, a transceiver, and a controller. The transceiver may be configured to transmit data associated with the parameter to an external remote control and receive instructions from the external remote control. Finally, the controller is configured to move the actuator in response to the instructions from the external remote control, wherein the actuator adjusts the implant body. The methods may include measuring a parameter indicative of a biological condition; transmitting data associated with the parameter from the implantable device to an external remote control; transmitting instructions from the external remote control to the implantable device; and actuating the bone growth device in response to the instructions from the external remote control.
Systems and methods to estimate human length
Systems and methods use a three-dimensional snapshot of an infant, child, adolescent, or adult where the subject may have bent legs and an unaligned head position, to provide an estimate of human length. The system identifies anatomical features from the digital information and generates a virtual skeleton. The cumulative distances between pseudo-joints of the virtual skeleton provide an estimate of human length. Comparing length estimates from multiple three-dimensional snapshots of the same individual acquired over time provide an indication of growth of the infant, child, or adolescent. Daily estimates of length can detect growth faltering sooner than less frequent estimates of length, which can lead to timely intervention.
Systems and Methods for Displaying Augmented Anatomical Features
A method, user device, and system for displaying augmented anatomical features is disclosed. The method includes detecting a target individual, displaying a visual representation of the body, and determining an anatomical profile of the target individual based on a plurality of reference markers. The method further includes displaying, on the display, a graphical representation of the inner anatomical features onto the visual representation of the body so as to assist in the identification of the inner anatomical features. In another aspect, an initial three-dimensional representation of the body is mapped and a preferred anatomical profile is determined based upon the reference markers. The initial three-dimensional representation of the body is modified to be the shape of the preferred anatomical profile and displayed.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING AT LEAST ONE PRODUCTION VALUE FOR PRODUCING A CUSTOM-TAILORED COMPRESSION GARMENT FOR A LIMB AND COMPUTER PROGRAM
Computer-implemented method for determining at least one production value for producing a custom tailored compression garment for a limb (23), wherein the production value is associated with at least one measurement position along the length of the limb (23), comprising the steps of: receiving a three dimensional dataset of the limb (23) acquired using a 3D scan device (20), evaluating the dataset to derive at least one reference information describing the position (1-14) of an anatomical feature of the limb (23) along the length of the limb (23), determining the at least one measurement position for the at least one production value in the three dimensional dataset using at least one rule of a rule set (34), wherein each rule relates at least one reference information to at least one measurement position, determining the at least one production value from the three dimensional dataset at the at least one determined measurement position.
3D Body Scanner for Generating 3D Body Models
A 3D body scanner for generating 3D body models includes a first device that includes a depth sensor for acquiring depth data of a field of view of an object to be scanned. The 3D body scanner includes a first communication interface and a control unit, which is alternatively configured for processing the depth data. The 3D body scanner includes a second device that includes a sensing component for detecting the object to be scanned. The second device is designed for sending to the control unit, an activation signal after detecting the object to be scanned. The control unit is configured to activate at least the first device upon the acquisition of the depth data.
Method for plaque detection
Method of detecting dental plaque, comprising the steps of subjecting a dental area of interest to high and low energy photons in the presence of a photosensitizer. The invention can be used antimicrobial and antiviral and antifungal detection and therapy. Thus, generally, viral or fungal infections in biofilm, plaque and on teeth surfaces can be detected and optionally treated. The method can also be used for detecting, determining or analysing the quantity or quality or both of the dental pellicle.
Bed
A bed includes: a bed body having a space for a user to rest; a monitoring device connected to the bed body, the monitoring device including a pressure detecting mechanism, a signal processing unit electrically coupled to the pressure detecting mechanism, and a monitoring unit electrically coupled to the signal processing unit. The pressure detecting mechanism is configured to detect pressure variations of the bed body, generate pressure data, and transmit the pressure data to the signal processing unit. The signal processing unit is configured to process the pressure data and generate processed signal data. The monitoring unit is configured to monitor the processed signal data.
Defect gauge instrument for preparation of surgical sites
This disclosure relates to a defect gauge instrument and method for repairing bone defects. The defect gauge instrument disclosed herein may be utilized to determine one or more characteristics of a bone defect prior to positioning a graft and/or implant at a surgical site.
VECTOR FLUSH SIZING CATHETER AND METHOD
The techniques of this disclosure generally relate to a vector flush sizing catheter that is used initially to disperse contrast and measure a length of a main vessel using radiopaque measuring markers of the catheter. Subsequently, the vector flush sizing catheter is used to guide and introduce another endovascular device into the main vessel. By using the vector flush sizing catheter for both procedures, the exchange of catheters, the complexity of the procedure, and the associated risks are minimized.
