Tóm tắt

This study aimed to propose a computerized method for detecting the tooth region for each tooth type as the initial stage in the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) scheme for dental panoramic X-ray images. Our database consists of 160 panoramic dental X-ray images obtained from 160 adult patients. To reduce false positives (FPs), the proposed method first extracts a rectangular area including all teeth from a dental panoramic X-ray image with a faster region using a convolutional neural network (Faster R-CNN). From the rectangular area including all teeth, six divided areas are then extracted with Faster R-CNN: top left, top center, top right, bottom left, bottom center, and bottom right. Faster R-CNNs for detecting tooth regions for each tooth type were trained individually for each of the divided areas that narrowed down the target tooth types. By applying these Faster R-CNNs to each divided area, the bounding boxes of each tooth were detected and classified into 32 tooth types. A k-fold cross-validation method with k = 4 was used for training and testing the proposed method. The detection rate for each tooth, number of FPs per image, mean intersection over union for each tooth, and classification accuracy for the 32 tooth types were 98.9%, 0.415, 0.748, and 91.7%, respectively, showing an improvement compared to the application of the Faster R-CNN once to the entire image (98.0%, 1.194, 0.736, and 88.8%).
