Segmentation of teeth roots in CT scans

- Abstract
- In this project we developed a method to segment and visualize teeth roots from CT scan data. Our method is based on the level set method for the segmentation and the marching cubes method for the visualization. Most of the teeth segmentations had a good result when compared to a ground truth although there were some teeth and data sets that were problematic to segment. We give some reasons as to why and how those problems might be solved upon further development of the method.
