Workflow of the deep learning (DL) tool for automated dental film mounting
The workflow begins with the process initiation (“Start”) and patient undergoing dental radiography where both intraoral and extraoral images are captured (“Patient Radiography”). These raw images are then fed into the DL tool (“Image Input”). The model classifies each image into a specific tooth area (“Image Classification”), and subsequently, these images are automatically rotated to their correct orientation (“Image Rotation”). Following rotation, the images are digitally mounted in the correct orientation, which mimics traditional physical film mounting, thereby providing a comprehensive view of the dental structures (“Film Mounting”). Finally, the mounted images are presented to the clinician for review and interpretation (“Clinician Review”). The steps highlighted in blue represent the process of DL model inference
