Intraoral Ultrasound Imaging Using a Rotational Transducer with Periodontal Feature Identification by Machine Learning.

Innovative intraoral ultrasound devices with smart artificial intelligence-based identification for dento-anatomy could provide crucial information for oral health diagnosis and treatment and shed light on real-time detection of developmental dentistry. However, the grand challenge is that the current ultrasound technologies are meant for external use due to their bulkiness and low frequency. We report a compact versatile ultrasound intraoral device that consists of a rotational probe head robustly pivoted around a hand-held and portable handle for real-time imaging of intraoral anatomy using high-frequency ultrasonography (up to 25 MHz).

Assessment of hip displacement in children with cerebral palsy using machine learning approach.

Manual measurements of migration percentage (MP) on pelvis radiographs for assessing hip displacement are subjective and time consuming. A deep learning approach using convolution neural networks (CNNs) to automatically measure the MP was proposed. The pre-trained Inception ResNet v2 was fine tuned to detect locations of the eight reference landmarks used for MP measurements.
