The study evaluates automatic tooth segmentation on panoramic radiographs using a large annotated corpus of 1,422 images and 42,142 tooth polygons. It finds that increasing input resolution improves boundary precision (mask mAP50‑95 rises from 0.656 to 0.717) while detection performance remains unchanged, and that architectural changes have minimal impact on in‑domain accuracy. Targeted interventions such as LoRA adaptation, promptable foundation models, and anatomical label assignment provide negligible gains, indicating that resolution and acquisition diversity should be prioritized over model novelty.

Prototype-based networks provide inherently interpretable classification by linking predictions to learned exemplars, but their use in 3D point clouds and clinical surface-pair reasoning remains limited. We introduce ProtoPointNet, a prototype-based model for dental occlusion classification from registered upper--lower intraoral arch pairs.

Instance-Guided Report Anchoring (IGRA) is a model-agnostic module that links each abnormality instance in a chest CT to the corresponding finding in a radiology report during training, while discarding text components at inference. By reformulating free-text grounding as multi-label volumetric segmentation, IGRA allows all abnormality categories to be predicted in a single image-only forward pass. The method improves Dice scores by 22.5% over the strongest image-only baseline and matches state‑of‑the‑art performance on single-finding subsets, with consistent gains across multiple 3D segmentation backbones and datasets.
