Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of an automated two-step model interpreting pediatric temporomandibular joint (TMJ) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using artificial intelligence (AI). Using deep learning techniques, the model first automatically identifies the disk and the TMJ osseous structures, and then an automated algorithm classifies disk displacement.
