Abstract
SummaryThe development of computer-aided detection/diagnosis (CAD) systems for dental imaging is progressing. One expected use of CAD is to detect radiological signs of medical systemic disease in the panoramic screening radiograph. The target diseases for CAD include osteoporosis, arteriosclerosis, and maxillary sinusitis.CAD is also useful in the detection and evaluation of dental and maxillofacial lesions. Identifying alveolar bone resorption due to periodontitis and radiolucent jaw lesions (such as radicular and dentigerous cysts) are important goals for CAD. CAD can be applied not only to panoramic radiography but also to dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Linking of CAD and teleradiology will be an important issue.
