Özet

Introduction: A computing system that replicates a natural system is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Deep learning methods have recently been applied for the processing of medical images, and they have shown promise in a variety of applications

Aim: This study aimed to develop a deep learning approach for identifying oral lichenoid lesions using photographic images.

 

Methods: Anonymous retrospective photographic images of buccal mucosa with 65 healthy and 72 oral lichenoid lesions were identified using CranioCatch program (CranioCatch, Eskişehir, Turkey). All images were re-checked and verified by Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology experts. This data set was divided into training (n =51; n=58), verification (n =7; n=7) and test (n =7; n=7) sets for healthy mucosa and mucosa with oral lichenoid lesion, respectively. In the study, an artificial intelligence model was developed using Tensorflow Inception V3 architecture, which is a deep learning approach.

Results: AI deep learning model provided the classification of all test images for both healthy and diseased mucosa with a 100% success rate.

Conclusion: In the health-care business, AI offers a wide range of uses and applications. Increased effort, increased complexity of job, and probable doctor fatigue may jeopardize diagnostic abilities and results. Artificial intelligence (AI) components in imaging equipment would lessen this effort and increase efficiency.They can also detect oral lesions and have access to more data than their human counterparts. Our preliminary findings show that deep learning has the potential to handle this significant challenge.
