An Explainable and Conformal AI Model to Detect Temporomandibular Joint Involvement in Children Suffering from Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease during childhood and adolescence. The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are among the most frequently affected joints in patients with JIA, and mandibular growth is especially vulnerable to arthritic changes of the TMJ in children. A clinical examination is the most cost-effective method to diagnose TMJ involvement, but clinicians find it difficult to interpret and inaccurate when used only on clinical examinations. This study implemented an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) model that can help clinicians assess TMJ involvement. The classification model was trained using Random Forest on 6154 clinical examinations of 1035 pediatric patients (67% female, 33% male) and evaluated on its ability to correctly classify TMJ involvement or not on a separate test set. Most notably, the results show that the model can classify patients within two years of their first examination as having TMJ involvement with a precision of 0.86 and a sensitivity of 0.7. The results show promise for an AI model in the assessment of TMJ involvement in children and as a decision support tool.

A Comprehensive Approach to Diagnosing Temporomandibular Joint Diseases: AI-driven TMD Diagnostic System
AI-driven TMD diagnostic system uses AI segmentation method to diagnose Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD). By using segmentation, three important parts: temporal bone, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc and the con…
DiagnosticSegmentationSegmentation of temporomandibular joint structures on mri images using neural networks for diagnosis of pathologies
This article explores the use of artificial intelligence for the diagnosis of pathologies of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), in particular, for the segmentation of the articular disc on MRI images. The relevance of th…
Data AugmentationSpecificitySelf-Supervised Vision Transformers for CBCT-Based Detection of Temporomandibular Joint Osteoarthritis
Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ OA) is a prevalent degenerative condition whose osseous changes are often subtle on cone-beam CT (CBCT), making automated detection challenging. We study how well the DINO fami…
Multiple Instance LearningUncertainty Quantification in Anomaly Detection with Cross-Conformal $p$-Values
Given the growing significance of reliable, trustworthy, and explainable machine learning, the requirement of uncertainty quantification for anomaly detection systems has become increasingly important. In this context, e…
