Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This study was performed to develop computer-aided screening systems that could predict osteoporosis. The systems were constructed using panoramic radiographs of women aged ≥ 50 years through three types of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs): Alexnet, VGG-16, and GoogLeNet; the performances of the constructed systems were evaluated.
