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 study evaluates four deep‑learning segmentation architectures—Unet, PSPNet, Linknet, and FPN—paired with six pre‑trained encoders to predict COVID‑19 lesions in CT images. Experiments on three COVID‑19 CT datasets show high accuracy, achieving a maximum binary F1‑score of 98% and multi‑class F1‑scores of 75% and 77%. The work aims to provide a standardized performance benchmark for medical image segmentation and a reference for other imaging scenarios.
