2D-to-3DMaxiDeform: A computer-aided approach for 3D construction of maxillary sinus from PA and lateral X-ray images.

3D volume construction of the maxillary sinus is important for understanding the 3D surface morphology of the maxillary sinuses and detecting changes or obstruction in sinuses. It is important to detect the pathological conditions affecting the sinuses and to determine the treatment outcomes. The cases of sinusitis and various other pathoses in maxillary sinuses are getting comparatively higher than in other sinuses.

A systematic review of the techniques for automatic segmentation of the human upper airway using volumetric images.

The human upper airway is comprised of many anatomical volumes. The obstructions in the upper airway volumes are needed to be diagnosed which requires volumetric segmentation. Manual segmentation is time-consuming and requires expertise in the field.
