Utilization of computer-aided detection system in diagnosing unilateral maxillary sinusitis on panoramic radiographs

Abstract

The CAD system supported the inexperienced dentists in diagnosing maxillary sinusitis on the panoramic radiographs. If the accuracy of the CAD system can be increased, the benefits of CAD support will be further enhanced.

The use and performance of artificial intelligence applications in dental and maxillofacial radiology: A systematic review

“…The 50 studies reporting applications of AI models to analyze 2D/3D images in the dental and maxillofacial region covered a period from November 1992 to January 2019 ( Figure 2). In these studies, six [27][28][29][30][31][32] used periapical radiographs,14 [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46] used panoramic radiographs, one 47 used both intraoral and panoramic radiographs, ten [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57] The Use and Performance of AI Applications in DMFR Hung et al used cephalometric radiographs, 14 [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71] used CBCT images, one 72 used intraoral photographs, one…”

“…With regard to the applications of these AI models, 19 [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65]75 reported on localization/measurement of cephalometric landmarks, nine [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43] on diagnosis of osteoporosis, six 33,34,[67][68][69]76 on classification/segmentation of maxillofacial cysts and/or tumors, three [27][28][29] on identification of alveolar bone resorption, three 30,31,66 on classification of periapical lesions, two 47,74 on the diagnosis of multiple dental diseases, and two 46,72 on classification of tooth types. Furthermore, single studies were found for the identification of root canals, 71 diagnosis of the maxillary sinusitis, 45 identification of inflamed gingiva, 73 identification of dental plaque, 70 detection of den...…”

“…With regard to the methods used for validating the performance of the AI models, 13 studie s 29,32,35,39,42,46,51,57,65,70,[72][73][74] used split sample validation, ten 28,30,41,48,50,52,54,62,63,66 used leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV), two 34,68 used 3-fold cross-validation (CV), one 56 used 4-fold CV, three 38,40,44 used 5-fold CV, three 33,36,47 used 10-fold CV, one 43 used out-of-bag estimate, 12 31,45,49,55,[58][59][60][61]64,71,75,76 used independent sample validation, three 27,37,75 used multiple validation techniques, and two 53,67 did not describe the validat...…”

Development and Analysis of Diagnostic Criteria for Creation of an Automated Computer Software for Predicting the Course and Individualizing the Treatment of Patients With Odontogenic Maxillary Sinusitis

“…Thus, these systems can be used in medicine and, particularly, in dentistry [9,10,11,12]. The expert system can be used for many medical and diagnostic purposes: to solve problems of diagnostics, to establish the diagnosis, to appoint medical measures, to predict the course of the disease and to prevent threatening complications [13]. Our sphere of interest is the treatment of patients with various diseases of the maxillofacial area, so it remains relevant to improve the diagnosis and treatment of patients with odontogenic maxillary sinusitis (OMS), as one of the most common pathologies.…”

Depression of the maxillary sinus anterior wall and its influence on panoramic radiography appearance

“…Although panoramic radiography has been recognized as an essential tool in dental practice for more than half a century, panoramic image appearances are occasionally difficult to interpret, especially for structures adjacent to the maxillary sinus. 1 This can be mainly attributed to the complexity of anatomical variations in the maxillary sinus area and their relationships with X-ray beam projection angles in panoramic radiography. Meanwhile, CT and CBCT for dental use enable us to clearly visualize the anatomical structures adjacent to the maxillary sinus, and many studies have been performed on various diseases 2,3 and maxillary sinus morphologies, including volume 4,5 and sinus septa.…”
