Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting the gingival tissues and supporting structures of the teeth, often leading to tooth loss. The condition begins with the ...

Radiography is a quick, noninvasive, and cost-effective method for obtaining essential information(1). However, simple radiographs can only detect bone tissue loss when there is more than 30% ...

The primary goal of this project is to develop a neural network-driven system tailored to classify patients' bone health and detect osteoporosis, leveraging panoramic radiographic images. The aim is ...

Peripheral skeleton (wrist and heel): DXA, QCT, single-energy x-ray absorptiometry, radiographic absorptiometry ... there are many contributors to bone strength apart from BMD (see next section).

Methods: We analyzed 2,000 panoramic radiographs using image processing techniques. The YOLOv8 model segmented teeth, identified the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ), and quantified alveolar bone loss to ...

levothyroxine use appears to be associated with greater bone loss in older adults," said Shadpour Demehri, M.D., co-senior author and professor of radiology at Johns Hopkins. Jennifer Mammen ...

Hand radiographs were scored for the presence of erosions. Periarticular BMD was measured at 10 predetermined ROIs using a Hologic QDA-4500A fan-beam densitometer. Conclusions: In early disease, ...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a serious disease resulting in pain, loss of function and reduced quality of life and represents a major ... the dual-energy absorptiometry-based T-score replaced imprecise and ...
