Automated assessment of cervical vertebral maturation stages using deep learning and ordinal learning approaches for clinical decision support in orthodontics.
Panjab University / PGIMER
Methodology
- Medical image segmentation of vertebral regions
- Vertebral ROI extraction and preprocessing
- Deep learning classification with ordinal regression
- Continuous-stage prediction from discrete labels
Key Contributions
- Proposed a continuous-perspective formulation for maturation staging
- Developed an end-to-end pipeline from ROI extraction to stage prediction
- Demonstrated improved ordering consistency over standard classification
