A research project funded by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research to develop AI-driven diagnostic and prognostic tools for pediatric TM DJD using imaging and longitudinal data, improving early diagnosis and personalized treatment.
Description
This project aims to improve early diagnosis and personalized care for pediatric temporomandibular degenerative joint disease (TM DJD) using multimodal imaging, AI, and machine learning. It involves advanced analytics combining Cone-Beam CT and MRI, symptom phenotyping via mobile app tracking, and longitudinal datasets to develop diagnostic and prognostic tools. The project will evaluate models' usability and feasibility in clinical settings, aiming to enhance clinical decision-making and targeted treatments for pediatric TM DJD.
