Abstract

For the past two years work has been in progress at the State University of New York at Stony Brook to develop a hybrid system linking a small digital computer to a programmable flying-spot scanner. This scanner was designed and built to accomplish the task of automatically analyzing x-ray films giving a panoramic view of the teeth, jaw and visually proximate structures, and producing dental diagnostic data as output.
