Odontogenic cysts and tumors detection in panoramic radiographs using Deep Convolutional Neural Network(DCNN)

Diseases that require surgery, such as cysts or tumors that occur in the oral maxillofacial region, have been often missed or misdiagnosed despite the importance of early detection. Computer-assisted diagnostics using a deep convolution neural network (DCNN), a machine learning technology based on artificial neural networks, can provide more accurate and faster results. In this study, we will investigate a method for automatically detecting five diseases that frequently occur in the oral maxillofacial region using DCNN in panoramic radiographs.
