摘要

Mandibular fractures are one of the most common injuries stemming from traumatic incidents. Proper and prompt diagnosis is vital to prevent permanent functional impairment and life-threatening complications. This study aims to develop an automated diagnostic tool to assist clinicians, using the latest deep learning architecture for the automatic detection and region-based classification of mandibular fractures. The deep learning architectures YOLOv8-seg and YOLOv8-cls were trained on a dataset of 330 and validated on 84 panoramic radiographs, also consisting of the less studied pediatric population. Our approach displayed a superior performance with an F1 score of 86%, surpassing the existing methods used for classifying mandibular fractures using panoramic radiographs. Furthermore, our proposed framework also effectively categorizes radiographs with plating/arch bars and mixed/permanent dentition, offering valuable support to healthcare professionals in the detection and classification of typical mandibular fractures.
