#### Dental Applications in Slicer
- A coordinated development of foundational features like panoramic view support is recommended.
- Related feature request:
- [#7179](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/issues/7179): Add built-in support for Curved Planar Reformation (CPR).
- Potential collaborators:
- Lucia Cevidanes’ group at Michigan University: [link](https://www.dent.umich.edu/directory/luciacev), [CMF Slicer](https://cmf.slicer.org/).
