Abstract:
Within the treatment process of modern stomatology, obtaining exquisite preoperative information is the key to accurate intraoperative planning with implementation and prognostic judgment. However, traditional single mode image has obvious shortcomings, such as "monotonous contents" and "unstable measurement accuracy", which could hardly meet the diversified needs of oral patients. Multimodal medical image fusion (MMIF) technique has been introduced into the studies of stomatology in the 1990s, aiming at realizing personalized patients′ data analysis through multiple fusion algorithms, which combines the advantages of multimodal medical images while laying a stable foundation for new treatment technologies. Recently artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly increased the precision and efficiency of MMIF′s registration: advanced algorithms and networks have confirmed the great compatibility between AI and MMIF. This article systematically reviews the development history of the multimodal image fusion technique and its current application in stomatology, while analyzing technological progresses within the domain combined with the background of AI′s rapid development, in order to provide new ideas for achieving new advancements within the field of stomatology.
