Abstract
Diagnosis of hone lesions on dental radiographs can be difficult due to the irregular trabecular pattern and subjectivity on the part of the observer. The purpose of this study is to improve the recognition of bone lesions by means of objective computer‐aided pattern recognition techniques. This article describes a method for the separation of teeth and bone regions in the image to facilitate further analysis, especially of the interdental bone.Keywords
