Abstract

INTRODUCTION: In orthodontic treatments, accurately assessing the upper airway volume and morphology is essential for proper diagnosis and planning. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is used for assessing upper airway volume through manual, semi-automatic, and automatic airway segmentation methods. This study evaluates upper airway segmentation accuracy by comparing the results of an automatic model and a semi-automatic method against the gold standard manual method.
