| Abstract(in English) | The existence of the carotid artery calcification as an index for arteriosclerosis has attracted a great deal of attention. This paper proposes an improvement of the automatic detection method for carotid artery calcification in dental panoramic radiographs based on intensity gradients. This paper focuses on the local variation of the intensities in possible regions of the calcification in the radiograph. The local region is modified to enhance the difference between the calcification and its neighborhood. The proposed method can improve the number of the detected calcification regions. Experimental results show that a good detection performance is obtained. |
