Background: Lateral cephalometric radiograph (LCR) is crucial to diagnosis and treatment planning of maxillofacial diseases, but inappropriate head position, which reduces the accuracy of cephalometric measurements, can be challenging to detect for clinicians. This non-interventional retrospective study aims to develop two deep learning (DL) systems to efficiently, accurately, and instantly detect the head position on LCRs.

Methods: LCRs from 13 centers were reviewed and a total of 3000 radiographs were collected and divided into 2400 cases (80.0 %) in the training set and 600 cases (20.0 %) in the validation set. Another 300 cases were selected independently as the test set. All the images were evaluated and landmarked by two board-certified orthodontists as references. The head position of the LCR was classified by the angle between the Frankfort Horizontal (FH) plane and the true horizontal (HOR) plane, and a value within - 3°- 3° was considered normal. The YOLOv3 model based on the traditional fixed-point method and the modified ResNet50 model featuring a non-linear mapping residual network were constructed and evaluated. Heatmap was generated to visualize the performances.

Results: The modified ResNet50 model showed a superior classification accuracy of 96.0 %, higher than 93.5 % of the YOLOv3 model. The sensitivity&recall and specificity of the modified ResNet50 model were 0.959, 0.969, and those of the YOLOv3 model were 0.846, 0.916. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the modified ResNet50 and the YOLOv3 model were 0.985 ± 0.04 and 0.942 ± 0.042, respectively. Saliency maps demonstrated that the modified ResNet50 model considered the alignment of cervical vertebras, not just the periorbital and perinasal areas, as the YOLOv3 model did.

Conclusions: The modified ResNet50 model outperformed the YOLOv3 model in classifying head position on LCRs and showed promising potential in facilitating making accurate diagnoses and optimal treatment plans.
