Accurate segmentation of the masseter muscles (MM) is critical for the assessment of various clinical conditions.

摘要

Accurate segmentation of the masseter muscles (MM) is critical for the assessment of various clinical conditions. While artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods have demonstrated promising results, existing studies suffer from limitations such as small datasets and constrained model deployment bandwidth, hindering cross-study comparisons. To address these challenges, we curated a comprehensive dataset comprising over 1,000 annotated images from four distinct sources. We trained and evaluated a diverse set of architectures including the well-applied convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models as well as the recently proposed Vision Transformer and Vision Mamba based models. A standardized evaluation pipeline was developed to assess various performance metrics across models. Our results demonstrate that the YOLOv8 + SAM model exhibits superior generalization capabilities compared to others.
