Research Interests

AI-aided Medical Feature Intelligent Extraction
AI-aided teeth feature intelligent extraction is an innovative research integrating artificial intelligence technology with the dental field. Its objective is to utilize computer vision and machine learning algorithms to automatically identify and extract key features from dental images, such as tooth morphology, position, and spacing. This facilitates rapid and accurate assistance for dental diagnosis and treatment, promoting the intelligent and precise development of dental healthcare.

AI-aided Intelligent Design and Manufacturing
It aims to leverage AI algorithms to optimize the design process of dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, based on individual patient data and requirements. By integrating AI into the manufacturing process, it enables the production of customized prosthetic devices with improved accuracy, fit, and functionality. This innovative approach promises to revolutionize the field of prosthodontics by streamlining workflow, enhancing patient outcomes, and advancing the overall quality of dental care.

AI-aided Medical Image Intelligent Diagnosis
By training AI models on vast amounts of annotated medical image data, these systems can recognize patterns and abnormalities that may be imperceptible to the human eye, assisting healthcare professionals in making timely and precise diagnoses. This technology holds great promise in improving diagnostic accuracy, reducing interpretation time, and ultimately enhancing patient care across diverse medical specialties.
