Abstract

BACKGROUND: Segmentation of airways and soft tissues on panoramic radiographs is a challenging yet crucial task in dental diagnostics, as these regions can often be confused with fractures or other lesions due to superimposition. This study aimed to perform segmentation of both airways and soft tissues on panoramic radiographs simultaneously using an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model.
