Application of image processing techniques to aid in the detection of vertical root fractures in digital periapical radiography

ConclusionsThe proposed image processing framework can be used as an additional tool to that provided by the manufacturer to increase the sensitivity and AUC of the diagnosis of VRF.Clinical relevanceThe proposed method can be easily used in clinical practice to aid VRF detection, since it does not incur high computational costs and does not increase the radiation dose applied to the patient.
