Progress in research on the application of remote-sensing imaging technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases
Remote-sensing technologies employ sensing instruments to collect,process,and finally image electromag-netic wave information reflected by long-distance targets.In recent years,the cross fusion of remote-sensing and medical technologies has shown broad application prospects in the fields of disease space analysis,fine navigation and posi-tioning,and real-time medical imaging.In combination with artificial intelligence and other technical means,remote-sen-sing technologies are noninvasive and not only facilitate high-precision positioning and lesion diagnosis but also provide early warning of diseases.To provide novel ideas for related research,this paper comprehensively in-troduces the principles and benefits of remote-sensing imaging technologies,such as infrared thermal,micro-wave,Terahertz,and hyperspectral imaging technolo-gies,for disease diagnosis and treatment and describes the application status and prospects of common remote-sensing imaging technologies in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases,early detection of carious lesion tissues,assessment of oral cancer margins and sweeping ranges,and detection of subtle changes in soft and hard oral tissues.
