The paper presents TLNM, a Mask R‑CNN based system that detects, numbers, and segments teeth in smartphone photographs. It incorporates a masked gray‑world white‑balancing step and an anatomically constrained detection layer to handle patient‑generated variability. Evaluated on internal and external datasets, the model achieved high AP50, PQ, and F1 scores, demonstrating robust performance across diverse populations and imaging conditions.

The paper introduces a dual‑stage deep learning system for detecting dental caries in panoramic radiographs. It first localizes teeth using Faster R‑CNN, then applies U‑Net for pixel‑wise caries segmentation, converting polygon annotations into high‑resolution binary masks. Trained on 3,000 images with both expert and algorithmic labels, the model achieves an IoU of 0.9013, Dice of 0.9482, Recall of 0.9433, and Precision of 0.9774, outperforming existing methods and reducing false positives.
The paper introduces MedREAL, a unified framework that aligns linguistic reasoning with spatial grounding for medical visual question answering and segmentation. MedREAL employs Seg Anchored Reasoning Pooling (SARP) to extract semantic evidence from segmentation tokens and a Reasoning-to-Visual (R2V) fusion mechanism to integrate these features into a segmentation pipeline. Using the newly created MedRAVS-13K dataset, MedREAL achieves superior performance, reporting 68.49% gIoU and 70.47% cIoU, and generates evidence masks that consistently match textual diagnoses.

arXiv:2606. 28556v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent advances in large language models and vision-language models have enabled reasoning over multimodal data, offering opportunities for clinical applications such as decision support and triaging.
The paper presents M2-OPMDNet, a multimodal deep learning framework that combines white‑light and autofluorescence intraoral images with structured clinical data to detect oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs). Using a prospectively collected real‑world dataset, the model achieved an AUC of 0.952, outperforming unimodal approaches and improving detection of visually subtle lesions. Explainability was provided through SHAP analysis, showing that clinical variables significantly contributed to risk estimation alongside imaging features.
