Led by Prof Lee Kyung-min of Chonnam National University’s Graduate School of Dentistry, a Korean research team has developed what is said to be the world’s first artificial intelligence-based 3D CT image measurement point automatic setting program.

The team introduced the ‘FaceRecon’, an AI-based software that is able to automatically set the measurement point used to evaluate the shape and location of hard and soft tissues in order to analyze 3D facial images.

In the past, researchers had to manually designate surface measurement points to evaluate the data. According to the researchers, the AI-enabled software greatly increases the convenience of maxillofacial shape analysis and diagnosis.

“Currently, programs that automatically set measurement points using artificial intelligence technology only work on two-dimensional lateral radiographs,” Professor Lee Kyung-min said. “We will continue to develop and upgrade FaceRecon for the global market.” Prof Lee’s current research project at the National Research Foundation of Korea involves the development of a facial shape prediction system using information from the alveolar bone.
