A Deep Learning Approach to Identifying and Categorizing Dental Diseases in Panoramic X-ray Images
摘要
Global praise has been given to the use of deep learning techniques, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), to perform medical imaging tasks like identification, estimation, and classification. Like conventional X-rays, panoramic dental X-rays have drawbacks but offer a comprehensive view of the oral cavity. These include variances in interpretation and poor image quality. The American Dental Association’s picture-based method is based on a completely automated system for classifying teeth and dental issues using panoramic X-ray images, which we discuss in this study. CNN-based semantic segmentation is used in the fundamental strategy, which is followed by techniques for image processing for tooth-level segmentation and problem detection. The system performed better than other models when assessed using the accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score metrics.
