METHOD AND DEVICE FOR COMPUTERIZED-THERMAL VISION DIAGNOSTICS IN DENTISTRY Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B5/01 A61C19/04 

FIELD: medicine; dentistry.

SUBSTANCE: method of computerized-thermal vision diagnostics in dentistry is based upon registration of radiation coming from tested object by means of device, registering radiation from tested object, and fixation of two-dimensional image of object in computer's memory and on screen of monitor. Volumetric thermal image of top or lower jaws of f patient is built by means of usage of two-dimensional images received from two thermal imagers connected to computer and mounted at angle one to the other along guideline, which has shape of arc of circle. Volumetric images of upper or lower jaws are received additionally in projection from below of lower jaw or from top and at angle for upper jaw by using thermal images of upper and lower jaws received at two projections at computer screen and volumetric image of jaw apparatus. Device for computerized-thermal vision diagnostics in dentistry has radiation registration unit which radiation comes from tested object. Registration unit is connected with computer and with monitor. Registration unit is made of two thermal imagers mounted at angle one to the other along guideline having shape of arc of circle. Guideline is made for turn up and down relatively horizontal position.

EFFECT: widened functional abilities; improved efficiency of diagnostics; elimination of irradiation of object.
