Logicon Caries Detector is a software tool for assisting in the diagnosis of proximal surface dental caries on radiographs acquired by a commercially available digital x-ray sensor system called RVG that is distributed in the United States by Carestream Dental, LLC. The software analyzes demineralization of the tooth material and compares it to a histological database of known caries problems to generate a probability of decay being present. A graphic interface displays an enlarged radiographic image outlining the potential lesion site on the tooth in question with separate plots of tooth density variations and lesion probability.
An individual software program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific image processing and/or analysis capabilities to a general-purpose dental x-ray system configuration. A basic set of applications programs and routines are included with such computer-controlled imaging systems and they can be upgraded to correct programming errors or to add new system capabilities. Some application software routines or groups of routines (packages) must be combined with specific hardware or firmware configurations in order to function as intended. Applications program packages are typically identified by a proprietary name and "version" or "upgrade" number.
