Medical Imaging of the Oral Cavity, Head and Neck Region

Abstract

This article shows several medical images with a consideration of the application to computer assisted diagnosis (CAD). The expected CAD functions based on the clinical significance of imaging diagnosis were discussed. From the image reading perspective, the development of CAD in recognition of the lesion extension and anatomical structure were requested. From the image generation perspective, it is expected that a combination of CAD and imaging techniques for material separation will increase the diagnostic accuracy, and can disseminate the recent image techniques.
