Sparseness of the trabecular pattern on dental radiographs: visual assessment compared with semi-automated measurements

摘要

ObjectiveIn diagnostic imaging; human perception is the most prominent, yet least studied, source of error. A better understanding of image perception will help to improve diagnostic performance. This study focuses on the perception of coarseness of trabecular patterns on dental radiographs. Comparison of human vision with machine vision should yield knowledge on human perception.
