Can Annotation‐Free Deep Learning Detect Periapical Bone Rarefactions on Panoramic Radiographs? A Paired Diagnostic Validation Study
This study aimed to compare an annotation‐free deep learning (DL) model with human evaluators for detecting periapical bone rarefactions (PBRs) on panoramic radiographs (PRs) and to assess the clinical acceptability of AI‐supported dental imaging. A mixed‐methods diagnostic validation was conducted using 238 PRs, e...
