Enhanced Osteoporosis Detection Using Artificial Intelligence: A Deep Learning Approach to Panoramic Radiographs with an Emphasis on the Mental Foramen
Osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder, is expected to affect 60% of women aged over 50 years.Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans, the current gold standard, are typically used post-fracture, highlighting the need for early detection tools.Panoramic radiographs (PRs), common in annual dental evaluations, have been explored for osteoporosis dete
