Estimation of real distance between two points in computer aided X-ray dental image of Planmeca Proline PC with Dimax device

Computer systems nowadays play an important role in medical life. The Planmeca Proline PC imaging device is used for dental purposes to capture images for head, face bones and teeth. It uses the X-Ray for image capturing but it’s software has some problem caused by the magnification inherent in all projection X-Ray techniques, which is how to draw an Image with real dimensions like real world or simply how to estimate the real distance between two point in captured image. This paper is about to design software that supplies the work of this device by estimating the distance between two points with real world dimensions in the X-Ray images that is captured by Planmeca Proline PC with Dimax software.
