| Abstract | Caries lesion activity assessment has been a routine diagnostic procedure in dental caries management, traditionally employing subjective measurements incorporating visual and tactile inspections. Recently, advances in 2D/3D image processing and analysis methods and microfocus x-ray computerized tomography (μ-CT) hardware, together with increased power of high performance computing, have created a synergic effect that is revolutionizing many fields in dental computing. In this paper, we report such an XSEDE-enabled high-throughput lesion activity assessment workflow that exploits 2D/3D image processing, visual analytics, and high performance computing technologies. Our paper starts with a brief introduction of the image dataset in our dental studies. We then proceed to a family of 2D image analysis, ROI segmentation, and 3D geometric construction methods. By combining dental imaging technology and 2D/3D image processing algorithms, we transform the task of lesion activity assessment into a 3D-time series analysis of computer generated lesion models. Building on the computational algorithms and implementation models, we develop a high-throughput dental computing workflow exploiting MapReduce tasks to parallelize the image analysis of dental CT scans, the segmentation of region-of-interest (ROI), and the 3D construction of lesion volumes. We showcase the employment of 3D-time series analysis and several other information representations that are applied to our lesion activity assessment scenario focusing on large scale dental image data. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
