Evaluating spatial and frequency domain enhancement techniques on dental imag...IJECEIAES
Dental imaging provides the patient's anatomical details for the dental implant based on the maxillofacial structure and the two-dimensional geometric projection, helping clinical experts decide whether the implant surgery is suitable for a particular patient. Dental images often suffer from problems associated with random noise and low contrast factors, which need effective preprocessing operations. However, each enhancement technique comes with some advantages and limitations. Therefore, choosing a suitable image enhancement method always a difficult task. In this paper, a universal framework is proposed that integrates the functionality of various enhancement mechanisms so that dentists can select a suitable method of their own choice to improve the quality of dental image for the implant procedure. The proposed framework evaluates the effectiveness of both frequency domain enhancement and spatial domain enhancement techniques on dental images. The selection of the best enhancement method further depends on the output image perceptibility responses, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and sharpness. The proposed framework offers a flexible and scalable approach to the dental expert to perform enhancement of a dental image according to visual image features and different enhancement requirements.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
3. Introduction
The term “implant” itself remains ambiguous.
According to the Academy of Osseointegration a
dental implant is defined as “an artificial material or
tissue that shows biocompatibility upon its surgical
implantation.” [this definition has been authorized
by American College of Prosthodontists & American
Academy Of Periodontology]
According to GPT 8 – Any object or material such
as an alloplastic or other tissue, which is partially or
completely inserted or grafted into the body for
therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic or experimental
purposes.
4. Introduction
Multiple factors influence the selection of radiographic
technique for a particular case including cost, availability,
radiation exposure, and case type.
The widespread use of dental implants in partially and
completely edentulous patients has brought about a need to
preoperatively depict and quantify the accurate bone height,
colour and location of vital anatomic structures by radiographic
examination
Diagnostic imaging must always be interpreted in conjunction
with a good clinical examination.
The decision is a balance between these factors and the
desire to minimize risk of complications to the patient.
5. Key parameters in implant planning with
radiographic aids
Bone Height (craniocaudal dimension)
Faciolingual/faciopalatal width
Mesiodistal dimension
Bone morphology
Presence & prominence of anatomic features:
Sublingual & Submandibular fossae // Incisive &
canine fossae
Neuarovascular canals & foramina, including:
Mandibular canal & the mental foramen // Incisive
canal & foramen // Mandibular lingual canals &
foramina // Greater Palatine canal & foramen
Cortical thickness & density
Extent and morphology of the alveolar recess of the
maxillary sinus base
6. Phases of imaging for dental implant surgery
Phase pre surgical implant imaging
Phase surgical and intra-operative implant imaging
Phase post-prosthetic imaging
7. Pre-Surgical Implant
Imaging
To assess the overall status of the remaining dentition
To identify & characterize the location and nature of the
edentulous regions, particularly to determine the quality,
quantity and angulations of bone
The pre-surgical radiographic evaluation should provide
information about the height and width of the bone, the
degree of corticalization, the density of mineralization
and the amount of cancellous bone in the areas
considered
To determine the relationship of critical structures to the
prospective implant site and to detect regional anatomic
abnormalities and pathologies.
8. Surgical and Intra-operative Implant
Imaging.
Evaluates the sites during and immediately
after the surgery
Assist in the optimal position and
orientation of dental implants
To evaluate the healing and integration
phase of implant surgery
Ensures the abutment position and
prosthesis fabrication are correct
9. Post-prosthetic implant imaging
It commences just after the prosthesis
placement and continues as long as the
implants remain in the jaws.
OBJECTIVES
Evaluate the long term maintenance of
implant rigid fixation and function
Evaluate crestal bone levels around each
implant
Evaluate the implant overall
10. Why do we need pre-prosthetic imaging
?
Identify normal v/s abnormal
Identify anatomic variants
Determine bone quality
Determine bone quantity
Identify ideal implant positioning
Use for surgical templates
11. Various Imaging Modalities
Analogue Intra-Oral Radiography
- Intra Oral Peri-Apical Radiography
Digital Intra-Oral Radiography
- RVG Sensor
Panoramic Imaging Modalities
Three Dimensional Imaging Modalities
The decision to image the patient is based on the
patient’s clinical needs and its availability while keeping
in mind that the dentists should follow the ALARA
principle which states that the diagnostic imaging
technique selected should include the lowest possible
radiation dose to the patient.
12. Intra-Oral Periapical
Radiography Indications
• Evaluation of small edentulous spaces
eg: in cases where there is single tooth
replacement
• Alignment and orientation of implants
during surgery
• Recall/Maintenance evaluations
Advantages
• Amount of bone loss & peri-implantitis
can be visualized
• Subtle variations in bone activity is
clearly seen
• Minimal magnification with high
resolution
• They are easy to obtain in the dental
clinics
13. Disadvantages
Two dimensional radiographic modality : vital information on
the width of the available bone is not obtained.
They are susceptible to unpredictable magnification of
anatomic structures, which does not allow reliable imaging
Distortion is particularly accentuated in edentulous areas,
where missing teeth and Resorption of the Alveolus
necessitates film placement at significant angulations
Poor identification of vital structures : studies have shown, in
the evaluation of the true location of the mental foramen,
less than 50% of IOPA’s depict the correct location of the
mental foramen. Other studies have shown because of
insufficient cortical bone around the Mandibular canal (MC),
only 28% of IOPA’s will identify the MC.
14. How to avoid these inherent
disadvantages.
Distortion : the central ray should perpendicular to the
bone, object & film to avoid much distortion.
Fore-shortening : the central ray should not be
perpendicular to the film but to the implant
Elongation : the central ray should not be perpendicular
to the object, but to the film.
15. Digital radiography
It is the form of radiography wherein the
conventional film is replaced by a radio-
visiography sensor that collects the data.
The resultant image can be modified in terms
interpreted by specialized software and an image
is formulated by a computer monitor
Digital radiography has two forms – “Direct” &
“Indirect”
The resultant image can be modified in terms of
gray scale, brightness, contrast, inversion and
color enhancement
Computerized software programs like
Dexisimplant are available that allows for
calibration of magnified images, ensuring
accurate measurements.
16. Indications
Excellent for implant follow up
Intraoral radiography of limited area
Bone Density evaluation (CADIA
software)
Useful in endodontic treatment
17. Advantages
Digital radiography has got less radiation
It provides the operator with a superior
resolution of imaging with slightly better
perception of low contrast details.
Instantaneous speed of image formation is
highly useful during surgical placement of
implants and the prosthetic verification of
component placement.
18. Disadvantages
Size and thickness of the film
Misuse of image manipulation
Manipulation and developing time is
sometimes long
Position of the connecting cord
sometimes makes the film placement
difficult in some sites, such as those
adjacent to Tori or in case of a
tapered arch form in the region of
canines.
19. Panoramic Radiography (OPG)
Panoramic radiography is a curved plane
tomographic radiographic technique used to
depict the body of the mandible, maxilla and the
maxillary sinuses in a single image.
In contrast to intra-oral radiography, the position
of the radiation source and the film are not static
but they rotate around the patient's head. Thus,
overlap of anatomic structures is partly avoided
The image receptor is either the radiographic
film, a digital storage phosphor plate or a digital
charge-coupled device receptor
20. Indications
Indicated when multiple implant
placements are planned
Initial assessment of vertical
height of bone
Evaluation of gross anatomy of
the teeth, the periodontium,
TMJ, Maxillary Sinuses, Jaws
and any related pathologic
findings
21. Advantages
It visualizes the location of critical anatomic
structures with a broader coverage than intra-oral
radiographs
They display anatomic structures clearly such as
the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, inferior alveolar
canal and mental foramen.
Radiation risk ranges from a dose of 2.7 to 38 µSv
Convenience, ease and speed in performance
inside the clinic
22. Disadvantages
The resolution is lesser when compared to
intra-oral radiographs
Two dimensional radiographic modality.
Does not depict buccal-lingual dimension of
maxillofacial structures.
A 10-20% image magnification occurs, which
is non uniform, this magnification is
undesirable for both implant selection and
implant site assessments.
Geometric distortion and overlapping of
images of teeth can occur
Overlapping of anterior region by vertebral
column
23. Cone Beam Computed
Tomography
CBCT is a technology used to take three
dimensional (3-D) images of teeth,
maxillary sinus, nerve pathways and bone
in the maxillofacial region with a single
scan
The CBCT system rotates around the
patient in approximately 5~60 seconds,
with an exposure time of < 5 seconds,
capturing data using cone-shaped x-ray
beam.
Because of higher radiation, higher cost,
huge footprint and difficulty in accessibility
associated with Computed Tomography
(CT), CBCT was invented in 1967 by Sir
Godfrey N. Hounsefield.
24. Cone Beam Computed Tomography
CBCT images are a result of data collected by
numerous detectors and ionizing chambers in the
CBCT unit.
The data collected by the detectors correspond to
a composite of the absorption characteristics of the
tissues and structures imaged.
This information is transformed into images (raw
data) that are reformatted into a voxel (digital)
volume for evaluation and analysis.
Thus the smaller the voxel size, the greater the
resolution and quality of the image, however, the
greater the resultant radiation dose.
A voxel size of 0.2 to 0.3 mm is considered ideal
because it allows for an equitable trade-off
between image quality and absorbed radiation
dose
25. Medical CT v/s CBCT
Instead of a fan of X-rays in a conventional medical
CT, a CBCT uses a cone of X-ray beams
CBCT
Medical CT
26. Medical CT v/s CBCT – a better
understanding
In a medical CT slices are acquired then
reconstructed to create volume
In CBCT the volume is acquired then slices are
reconstructed from the volume
27. Indications for Implantology
To assess the quantity and quality of
bone in edentulous ridges and
implant cases
Implant site evaluation, accurate
measurements, accurate planning of
implant in relation to vital structures,
surgical guide for computerized
prosthesis.
Evaluation of roots of upper posterior
teeth in respect to the maxillary sinus
& sinus lift procedure.
28. Contraindications for CBCT
Patients with Claustrophobia
Parkinson’s Disease
Tremors
Disabling conditions that might cause to
patient to be un-cooperative
29. Advantages
Rapid Scanning Time
Beam limitation (cone shaped beam)
Image Accuracy
No superimposing of images
Almost 0% magnification
Minimal Distortion
Lower cost
More feasible compared to the CT
30. Disadvantages
Scatter (Streak Atrifacts)
Motion artifacts due to increased
scanning time
Poor contrast resolution, thus
soft tissue cannot be reviewed.
Medical CT CBCT
Quantum noise
31. Radiographic Indications for Implant
placement
Full Edentulism (Reduced stability and retention of dentures)
Partial Edentulism (periodontal inflammatory conditions to be
treated first)
Single Tooth Replacement (use of auto/allografts at the time of
tooth extraction or after either soft or hard tissue healing)
Extreme Jaw Bone Resorption in Mandible (6mm bone height and
5mm vestibulo-oral bone width is necessary for implant placement)
Extreme Jaw Bone Resorption in Maxilla (7mm bone height and
4mm vestibulo-oral bone width is necessary to support implants)
32. Radiographic contraindications for
Implant placement
Recent Myocardial Infarction (patients can go into cardiac
depression during or after t/t)
Systemic Diseases (e.g. Osteoporosis, renal osteodystrophy,
osteomalacia and Paget's disease)
Congenital Defects (e.g. Hypodontia, Oligodontia and
Anodontia)
Irradiation (osteoradionecrosis can occur)
Infection (caries and peri-apical infections to be treated first)
Cysts, tumors and fibro-osseous lesions of Jaw Bone
