APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CAVITATIONS USING THROUGH-TRANSMISION ALVEOLAR ULTRASONOGRAPHY (TAU) - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041426 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CAVITATIONS USING THROUGH-TRANSMISION ALVEOLAR ULTRASONOGRAPHY (TAU)
Simplified Explanation
The present invention is an apparatus, method, and system for detecting and locating dental cavitations in jawbones using through-transmission alveolar ultrasonography (TAU). The apparatus consists of a measuring unit with an ultrasonic transducer and a round ultrasonic receiver. It is a handheld device that is designed to accurately position the ultrasonic transducer and receiver in relation to each other, resulting in a high-resolution ultrasound image of the jawbone with minimal errors. This improves the diagnosis of dental cavitations.
- The apparatus uses through-transmission alveolar ultrasonography (TAU) to detect and locate dental cavitations in jawbones.
- It includes a measuring unit with an ultrasonic transducer and a round ultrasonic receiver.
- The apparatus is handheld and designed to achieve a high-resolution ultrasound image of the jawbone with minimal errors.
- The geometric position of the ultrasonic transducer and receiver is defined to improve the accuracy of the ultrasound image.
- The invention aims to improve the diagnosis of dental cavitations.
Potential Applications
- Dental clinics and practices can use this technology to detect and locate dental cavitations in patients' jawbones.
- Oral surgeons and dentists can benefit from this technology to improve their diagnosis and treatment planning for dental cavitations.
Problems Solved
- Traditional methods for detecting dental cavitations may have limitations in accuracy and resolution.
- The invention solves the problem of achieving a high-resolution ultrasound image of the jawbone with minimal errors.
- It addresses the need for improved diagnosis of dental cavitations.
Benefits
- The apparatus provides a high-resolution ultrasound image of the jawbone, allowing for better visualization and detection of dental cavitations.
- Accurate detection and location of dental cavitations can lead to improved treatment planning and outcomes.
- The handheld design of the apparatus offers convenience and ease of use for dental professionals.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present invention relates to an apparatus, method and system for detecting and locating dental cavitations in jawbones using through-transmission alveolar ultrasonography (tau). the apparatus comprises a measuring unit comprising an ultrasonic transducer and a round ultrasonic receiver. the apparatus is a handhold and is configured to define the geometric position of the ultrasonic transducer and the ultrasonic receiver with respect to each other so as to achieve a high-resolution ultrasound image of the jawbone with minimal errors and in order to improve diagnosis of dental cavitations.
