PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for 3D interactive examination of a subject tooth.SOLUTION: A method for 3D interactive examination of a subject tooth, executed at least in part by a computer, obtains volume image data containing at least the subject tooth and a background content adjacent to the subject tooth and displays a first image from the volume data that shows at least the subject tooth and the background content. A portion of the background content in the first image is identified according to a first operator instruction. Tooth content related to at least the subject tooth in the first image is identified according to a second operator instruction. At least the subject tooth is segmented from within the volume data according to the first and second operator instructions. The segmented subject tooth is then displayed. |
