Systems and methods for processing of dental images

Abstract

A computer system implements a neural network to process raw dental images to detect and number teeth and to diagnose pathological, non-pathological, and post-treatment conditions. Detected teeth, corresponding numbers, and any corresponding detected conditions are correlated to the dental image and presented in a graphical user interface comprising the image and a standard, symbolic dental chart associating the tooth number, detected conditions, and regions of the image to teeth represented in the symbolic chart.

1 . A computer-implemented diagnostic method, comprising:
 obtaining a dental image comprising one or more teeth;   obtaining a tooth number for each of the one or more teeth comprised in the image, wherein the obtaining comprises:
 detecting, using a computer system executing a neural network, the one or more teeth in the dental image; 
 determining for each of one or more teeth, using the computer system, a tooth number associated with the tooth; and 
   transmitting, to a client system, data correlating at least one region of the dental image with a corresponding tooth number.
