Insights into Predicting Tooth Extraction from Panoramic Dental Images: Artificial Intelligence vs. Dentists.

Objectives: Tooth extraction is one of the most frequently performed medical procedures. The indication is based on the combination of clinical and radiological examination and individual patient parameters and should be made with great care. However, determining whether a tooth should be extracted is not always a straightforward decision.

Improving detection of oral lesions: Eye tracking insights from a randomized controlled trial comparing standardized to conventional approach.

Background: Early detection of oral cancer (OC) or its precursors is the most effective measure to improve outcome. The reasons for missing them on conventional oral examination (COE) or possible countermeasures are still unclear.

Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, we investigated the effects of standardized oral examination (SOE) compared to COE.

Wireless capsule endoscopy color video segmentation.

This paper describes the use of color image analysis to automatically discriminate between oesophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon tissue in wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE). WCE uses "pill-cam" technology to recover color video imagery from the entire gastrointestinal tract. Accurately reviewing and reporting this data is a vital part of the examination, but it is tedious and time consuming.
