Download Study: AI vs Dentists

Can a computer identify carious lesions in dental x-rays as accurately as human being?

To test the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (AI) in dental radiography, we asked an AI system and three experienced dentist to identify the presence or absence of tooth decay in a large set of oral radiographs. See who came out on top.
