Artificial intelligence models for clinical usage in dentistry with a focus on dentomaxillofacial CBCT: a systematic review
This study aimed at performing a systematic review of the literature on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in dental and maxillofacial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and providing comprehensive descriptions of current technical innovations to assist future researchers and dental professionals. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA) Statement was followed. The study ’s protocol was prospectively registered. Following databases were searched, based on MeSH and Emtree terms: PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science. The search strategy enrolled 1473 arti...

Usefulness of preoperative computed tomography findings for airway management in patients with acute odontogenic infection: a retrospective study
This study was performed to determine the most important imaging findings indicating preoperative selection of an appropriate intubation method. This retrospective study included 113 patients who underwent anti-inflammatory treatment for odontogenic infection. The patients were divided into two groups according to the intubation method: a Macintosh laryngoscope (45 patients) and others (video laryngoscope and fiberscope) (68 patients). The extent of inflammation in each causative tooth, the severity of inflammation (S1 –4), and their influence on the airway were evaluated by computed tomography. The causative teeth were ...

How AI Is Changing Medical Imaging to Improve Patient Care
That doctors can peer into the human body without making a single incision once seemed like a miraculous concept. But medical imaging in radiology has come a long way, and the latest artificial intelligence (AI)-driven techniques are going much further: exploiting the massive computing abilities of AI and machine learning to mine body scans for differences that even the human eye can miss.
Imaging in medicine now involves sophisticated ways of analyzing every data point to distinguish disease from health and signal from noise. If the first few decades of radiology were about refining the resolution of the pictures taken of...
