The presence of neck metastases was assessed after at least 6-month of follow-up. Using fat-suppressed T2-weighted images, two observers manually set the volume of interest at the tumor site using the 3D Slicer software and extracted 107 image features. The analysis was based on significant differences between patient groups in the presence or absence of neck metastases by the Mann-Whitney U test and good agreement with intra- and inter-observer intra-class correlation coefficients exceeding 0.9. In addition, two characteristics that were determined to be very useful for diagnosing neck metastases were selected by receiver operating characteristic analysis and evaluated for goodness of fit in the validation data.Results: Neck metastases were identified in 57 of 143 patients and divided into 121 training and 22 validation datasets. Using the combined criteria of Major Axis Length of 3D-shape features and Joint Entropy of the gray-level co-occurrence matrix, neck metastases were identified in 80.7% of the cases; the validation data predicted neck metastases in 80% of the cases.Conclusions: MR-imaging texture analysis of the primary tumor helps predict neck metastasis in patients with tongue cancer. The proposed criteria are simple yet useful for identifying groups of patients who may require neck dissection.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"388-395"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of metal artifact reduction (MAR) software and dual-energy (DE) methods, which are used in multi-detector CT (MDCT) to reduce the artifacts produced by titanium and zirconia oral implants.Methods: Oral implants were placed in the lower right second premolar and second molar regions of an acrylic mandible model and evaluated using MDCT. For MAR, Single Energy Metal Artifact Reaction (SEMAR) images were obtained, and for DE, images were obtained at 135 keV. The evaluation was based on 21 regions of interest (ROIs) with sides of 2.8 mm, set at 15, 25, and 35 mm from the center (the lower-right first premolar), with 65°, 90°, 115°, and 145° angles set on the buccal and lingual sides. The evaluation was based on an Artifact Index (AI).Results: The lingual aspect of the AI tended to be larger compared to the buccal aspect, regardless of the image-processing method. In addition, the SEMAR method tended to have a greater artifact reduction effect than the DE method. The distortion of the mandibular model and occurrence of new artifacts were confirmed using SEMAR.Conclusions: SEMAR had higher artifact reduction effects on metal artifacts than the DE method. Although SEMAR and dual-energy methods can effectively reduce metal artifacts, they also cause false images and areas that cannot be observed. Therefore, diagnostic and treatment planning, including imaging, is essential before artifact reduction processing.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"421-429"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143558902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NPC can be visualized using the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Also, CBCT has been used in many studies on artificial intelligence (AI). The \"You only look once\" (YOLO) is an AI framework that stands out with its speed. This study compared the observer and AI regarding the NPC segmentation and assessment of the NPC furcation status in CBCT images.Methods: In this study, axial sections of 200 CBCT images were used. These images were labeled and evaluated for the absence or presence of the NPC furcation. These images were then divided into three; 160 images were used as the training dataset, 20 as the validation dataset, and 20 as the test dataset. The training was performed by making 800 epochs using the YOLOv5x-seg model.Results: Sensitivity, Precision, F1 score, IoU, mAP, and AUC values were determined for NPC detection, segmentation, and classification of the YOLOv5x-seg model. The values were found to be 0.9680, 0.9953, 0.9815, 0.9636, 0.7930, and 0.8841, respectively, for the group with the absence of the NPC furcation; and 0.9827, 0.9975, 0.9900, 0.9803, 0.9637, and 0.9510, for the group with the presence of the NPC furcation.Conclusions: Our results showed that even when the YOLOv5x-seg model is trained with the NPC furcation and fewer datasets, it achieves sufficient prediction accuracy. The segmentation feature of the YOLOv5 algorithm, which is based on an object detection algorithm, has achieved quite successful results despite its recent development.","PeriodicalId":56103,"journal":{"name":"Oral Radiology","volume":" ","pages":"403-413"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143532254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aims to investigate whether an AI-based chatbot, such as ChatGPT, could be a valid tool for assisting in decision-making when assessing mandibular third molars before extractions.Methods: Panoramic radiographs were collected from a publicly available library. Mandibular third molars were assessed by position and depth. Two specialists evaluated each case regarding the need for CBCT referral, followed by introducing all cases to ChatGPT under a uniform script to decide the need for further CBCT radiographs. The process was performed first without any guidelines, Second, after introducing the guidelines presented by Rood et al. (1990), and third, with additional test cases. ChatGPT and a specialist's decision were compared and analyzed using Cohen's kappa test and the Cochrane-Mantel--Haenszel test to consider the effect of different tooth positions.

Anatomical structures were annotated using a regional segmentation tool within an annotation software by two dentomaxillofacial radiologists. Each volumetric dataset comprised 405 slices, with relevant anatomical structures marked in each slice. Seventy DICOM images were converted to Nifti format, with seven reserved for testing and the remaining sixty-three used for training.
