Two-stage deep learning approach for screening for anterior disk displacement of the temporomandibular joint using orthopantomograms

This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based approach for the initial screening of anterior disk displacement (DD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) using orthopantomograms (OPG). A two-stage ...

Multimodal deep learning with anatomically constrained attention for screening MRI-detectable TMJ abnormalities from panoramic images

Early diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders is challenging. Particularly, intra-articular temporomandibular joint (TMJ) abnormalities can only be confirmed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
