US Patent 12020373 Method for replaying scanning process

In method for replaying a scanning process according to the present invention, position information and rotation information of a scanner are acquired while scanning a scan target is a scanning step, and the distance relationship and angle relationship with the scan target can be calculated according to the position information and rotation information of the scanner. The acquired information and relationship values can be linked with a scan time and stored, and scanning data, along with the acquired information, can be sequentially displayed over time in a display step. According to the method for replaying a scanning process, the process of scanning performed by a user can be examined in chronological order, and the examination process can be quickly performed by controlling replay speed and selecting scan time. Accordingly, there are advantages in that the user can perform additional scanning of inadequately scanned portions, and the results of the scan can be used as material for deriving an optimal path for scanning when performing a scan on another patient having a similar oral cavity shape.
