Dental radiographs are amenable to digital image processing and analysis for both subjective interpretation and quantification of scene features. Four general-purpose image processing programs for the Apple Macintosh II computer (NIH Image, Enhance, IP Lab and DIP Station) were applied to digital analysis of dental radiographs. These programs can manipulate and quantitatively analyse the gray scale and spatial data of dental images and improve their subjective quality. They can interactively make geometric measurements of features. The programs were evaluated for their versatility and applicability in the quantification of alveolar bone. Overall, NIH Image was judged most suitable for current dental imaging needs. Each of the other programs offered unique features that may be valuable in specific applications.
牙科X光片适用于数字图像处理和分析，可用于主观解读和场景特征量化。针对苹果麦金塔II型计算机的四个通用图像处理程序（美国国立卫生研究院图像软件、增强软件、IP实验室软件和数字图像处理站软件）被应用于牙科X光片的数字分析。这些程序可以处理和定量分析牙科图像的灰度和空间数据，并提高其主观质量。它们可以交互式地对特征进行几何测量。对这些程序在牙槽骨量化方面的通用性和适用性进行了评估。总体而言，美国国立卫生研究院图像软件被认为最适合当前的牙科成像需求。其他每个程序都提供了独特的功能，这些功能在特定应用中可能很有价值。
