Cephalometric landmark detection without X-rays combining coordinate regression and heatmap regression

Abstract Fully automated techniques using convolutional neural networks for cephalometric landmark detection have recently advanced. However, all existing studies have adopted X-rays. The problem of direct exposure of patients to X-ray radiation remains unsolved. We propose a model for detecting cep...
