The aim of this study was to evaluate, if and with what accuracy perioperative blood loss can be calculated by a machine learning algorithm prior to orthognathic surgery. The investigators implemented a random forest algorithm to predict perioperativ...
Facial photographs of the subjects are often used in the diagnosis process of orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can judge soft tissue profiles requiring orthognathic surgery usin...
BACKGROUND: Posteroanterior and lateral cephalogram have been widely used for evaluating the necessity of orthognathic surgery. The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning network to automatically predict the need for orthodontic surgery...
