Welcome back to the Dentmetria blog! We’re excited to share some groundbreaking results from a recent study validating our AI-powered software, published in Orthodontics & Craniofacial Research on April 20, 2023.
Why Pharyngeal Airway Measurement Matters
Accurate measurement of the pharyngeal airway is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions like sleep apnea, orthodontic issues, and craniofacial abnormalities. Traditionally, this process involves manual segmentation of CBCT images, which is time-consuming and subject to variability between practitioners.
The Study: “A Deep Learning Algorithm Proposal to Automatic Pharyngeal Airway Detection and Segmentation on CBCT Images”
Our software was put to the test against manually segmented images, involving 306 CBCT scans. Here’s what we found:
Exceptional Accuracy: Our AI achieved a Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) of 0 %91.9 and an Intersection over Union (IoU) of %99.3, with a mean accuracy of %96.1.
Consistent Volume Measurements: The average pharyngeal airway volume measured by human observers was 18.08 cm³, while our AI calculated it as 17.32 cm³, showcasing the precision of our tool.
What This Means for Clinicians
Save Time: Manual segmentation can take hours, but our AI does it in minutes. This means less time on diagnostics and more time focusing on patient care. Imagine being able to quickly provide accurate treatment plans during the same appointment, improving patient satisfaction and workflow efficiency.
Improve Accuracy: Human error can lead to inconsistent measurements. Our AI provides precise and consistent results, ensuring better diagnostic outcomes. This accuracy means you can confidently diagnose conditions like sleep apnea or plan orthodontic treatments with a higher degree of certainty.
Enhance Efficiency: By automating the segmentation process, you can streamline your workflow, reduce administrative tasks, and increase your practice’s overall efficiency. Automated processes mean less paperwork and more time for patient interaction, enhancing the overall patient experience.
