GRAPHICAL FEEDBACK DURING 3D SCANNING OPERATIONS FOR OBTAINING OPTIMAL SCAN RESOLUTION

This application teaches a method for indicating voxel quality comprising graphically and/or mathematically. Such a method may include measuring a distance from the three-dimensional scanning device to an area of a subject corresponding to an image voxel. It may also include measuring an angle betwe...

Zusammenfassung:	This application teaches a method for indicating voxel quality comprising graphically and/or mathematically. Such a method may include measuring a distance from the three-dimensional scanning device to an area of a subject corresponding to an image voxel. It may also include measuring an angle between a line of sight from the three-dimensional imaging device and an orthogonal ray of the same area of the subject corresponding to the same voxel. The process may further include comparing the measured distance and angle to known acceptable operating ranges of the scanner, and plotting a quality point corresponding to the foregoing metrics on a set of axes.
