Correlation Between Quality Evaluation Metrics and Teeth Detection Results in Panoramic X-Rays Using Deep Learning.

Panoramic images are one of the most requested exams by dentists for allowing the visualization of the entire mouth. Interpreting X-ray images is a time-consuming task in which misdiagnoses can occur due to the inexperience or fatigue of professionals. In this work, we applied different image enhancement techniques as a pre-processing step to determine which image features correlate with improvements in teeth detection in panoramic images using deep learning architectures.
