Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Considering Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network approaches have shown promising image classification performance, the aim of this study was to compare the performance of novel Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) architectures with a classic CNN for classification of panoramic radiographs with inflammatory periapical lesions.
