In orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery, accurate cephalometric analysis and treatment outcome prediction are critical for clinical decision-making. Traditional approaches rely on manual landmark identification, which is time-consuming and subject ...
BACKGROUND: Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) is a major complication of inguinal hernia repair and significantly affects patients' quality of life. Despite the widespread use of transabdominal preperitoneal repair (TAPP), CPIP still occurs....
OBJECTIVE: The determination of the mid-sagittal plane (MSP) on three-dimensional (3D) head imaging is key to the assessment of facial asymmetry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of an automated landmark-based MSP to quantify man...
BACKGROUND: Digital cephalometric analyses, including those assisted by artificial intelligence (AI), are widely used in clinical practice. Similarly, computer-assisted learning has demonstrated teaching outcomes comparable to those of traditional me...
BACKGROUND: Manual landmark detection in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for evaluating craniofacial structures relies on medical expertise and is time-consuming. This study aimed to apply a new deep learning method to predict and locate soft an...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to enhance clinical diagnostics for quantitative cervical vertebral maturation (QCVM) staging with precise landmark localization. Existing methods are often subjective and time-consuming, while deep learning alternatives ...

INTRODUCTION: Mandibular symmetry is crucial in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. This study aimed to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) method to automatically and accurately identify mandibular landmarks and assess asymmetry via ...
OBJECTIVE: Surface-based three-dimensional (3D) cephalometry provides detailed clinical information for the analysis of craniofacial structures. This study aimed to develop an automated 3D surface cephalometry system using mesh fitting based on landm...
The convergence of medical imaging, computer vision, and orthodontics has made automatic cephalometric landmark detection a pivotal area of research. Accurate cephalometric analysis is crucial in orthodontics, orthognathic and maxillofacial surgery f...
