Objectives: The purpose of this study was to develop a deep learning algorithm capable of diagnosing radicular cysts in the lower jaw on panoramic radiographs.

Materials and methods: In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of 138 radicular cysts and 100 normal panoramic radiographs collected from 2013 to 2023 at Clinical Hospital Dubrava. The images were annotated by a team comprising a radiologist and a maxillofacial surgeon, utilizing the GNU Image Manipulation Program. Furthermore, the dataset was enriched through the application of various augmentation techniques to improve its robustness. The evaluation of the algorithm's performance and a deep dive into its mechanics were achieved using performance metrics and EigenCAM maps.

Results: In the task of diagnosing radicular cysts, the initial algorithm performance-without the use of augmentation techniques-yielded the following scores: precision at 85.8%, recall at 66.7%, mean average precision (mAP)@50 threshold at 70.9%, and mAP@50-95 thresholds at 60.2%. The introduction of image augmentation techniques led to the precision of 74%, recall of 77.8%, mAP@50 threshold to 89.6%, and mAP@50-95 thresholds of 71.7, respectively. Also, the precision and recall were transformed into F1 scores to provide a balanced evaluation of model performance. The weighted function of these metrics determined the overall efficacy of our models. In our evaluation, non-augmented data achieved F1 scores of 0.750, while augmented data achieved slightly higher scores of 0.758.

Conclusion: Our study underscores the pivotal role that deep learning is poised to play in the future of oral and maxillofacial radiology. Furthermore, the algorithm developed through this research demonstrates a capability to diagnose radicular cysts accurately, heralding a significant advancement in the field.
