HOW CAN PANORAMIC RADIOGRAPHS AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SAVE LIVES?

Background: Ischemic stroke, a leading global cause of death and disability, is commonly caused by carotid arteries atherosclerosis. Such calcifications are classically detected by ultrasound screening. In recent years it was shown that these calcifications can also be inferred from routine low-cost, low-radiation dental panoramic radiographs (DPRs).
