Maxillary Sinus

The maxillary sinus, a large air-filled cavity in the upper jaw, is a focus of ongoing research aimed at improving the accuracy and efficiency of anomaly detection and classification. Current research utilizes advanced 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often incorporating self-supervised or contrastive learning techniques to address challenges posed by limited labeled datasets and the diverse morphology of sinus anomalies (e.g., polyps, cysts, fungal balls). These AI-driven approaches, sometimes enhanced by image denoising, show promise in improving diagnostic accuracy compared to traditional methods, potentially leading to faster and more reliable diagnosis of sinus pathologies. The ultimate goal is to improve patient care through more efficient and accurate radiological interpretation.
