Accurate segmentation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from cone beam CT (CBCT) images holds significant clinical value for diagnosing temporomandibular joint osteoarthrosis (TMJOA) and related conditions. Convolutional neural network-based medic...
OBJECTIVE: Age-at-death estimation is usually done manually by experts. As such, manual estimation is subjective and greatly depends on the past experience and proficiency of the expert. This becomes even more critical if experts need to evaluate ind...
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) platforms is revolutionizing the performance in managing metadata and big data. Medicine is another field where AI is spreading. However, this technological advancement is not amenable to errors or fraudulent m...

OBJECTIVE: Paraspinal muscle segmentation and reconstruction from MR images are critical to implement quantitative assessment of chronic and recurrent low back pains. Due to unclear muscle boundaries and shape variations, current segmentation methods...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: For the augmented reality of surgical navigation, which overlays a 3D model of the surgical target on an image, accurate camera calibration is imperative. However, when the checkerboard images for calibration are captured us...
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Considerable variations exist in cavity preparation methods and approaches. Whether the extent and depth of cavity preparation because of the extent of caries affects the overall accuracy of training deep learning models remains...
OBJECTIVE: To establish a high-precision, automated model using deep learning for the fine classification and three-dimensional (3D) segmentation of mixed dentition in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images.
Predictive modeling approaches are enabling progress toward robust and reproducible brain-based markers of neuropsychiatric conditions by leveraging the power of multivariate analyses of large datasets. While deep learning (DL) offers another promisi...
BACKGROUND: The identification and measurement of aortic aneurysms is an important clinical problem. While specialized high-resolution 3D CMR sequences allow detailed aortic assessment, they are time-consuming which limits their use in screening rout...
