A Deep Learning Vision-Language Model for Diagnosing Pediatric Dental Diseases
Pham, T.
Show abstract
This study proposes a deep learning vision-language model for the automated diagnosis of pediatric dental diseases, with a focus on differentiating between caries and periapical infections. The model integrates visual features extracted from panoramic radiographs using methods of non-linear dynamics and textural encoding with textual descriptions generated by a large language model. These multimodal features are concatenated and used to train a 1D-CNN classifier. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms conventional convolutional neural networks and standalone language-based approaches, achieving high accuracy (90%), sensitivity (92%), precision (92%), and an AUC of 0.96. This work highlights the value of combining structured visual and textual representations in improving diagnostic accuracy and interpretability in dental radiology. The approach offers a promising direction for the development of context-aware, AI-assisted diagnostic tools in pediatric dental care.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
