Description:... Medical imaging is the cornerstone for diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up for many medical conditions, and this reference on dental and facial procedures describes a clever digital combination of two successive images that may provide much more information than the naked eye can obtain from both images separately. Using mutual information (MI) alignment/registration criteria, the discussion covers a wide variety of clinical applications for which this technology is helpful.
