Neural Network Detection and Segmentation of Mental Foramen in Panoramic Imaging.

To apply the technique of deep learning on a small dataset of panoramic images for the detection and segmentation of the mental foramen (MF). In this study we used in-house dataset created within the School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University. The dataset contained randomly chosen and anonymized 112 digital panoramic X-ray images and corresponding segmentations of MF.
