Abstract

BACKGROUND: Accurate cephalometric analysis plays a vital role in the diagnosis and subsequent surgical planning in orthognathic and orthodontics treatment. However, manual digitization of anatomical landmarks in computed tomography (CT) is subject to limitations such as low accuracy, poor repeatability and excessive time consumption. Furthermore, the detection of landmarks has more difficulties on individuals with dentomaxillofacial deformities than normal individuals. Therefore, this study aims to develop a deep learning model to automatically detect landmarks in CT images of patients with dentomaxillofacial deformities.
