Synopsis

Keywords: Segmentation, Segmentation

Motivation: Accurate disc segmentation in TMJ MRI is essential for diagnosing TMD; however, it is challenged by inter-observer variability and limited expert availability.

Goal(s): Our goal is to develop a semi-supervised deep learning model for TMJ disc segmentation to reduce manual labeling and improve diagnostic consistency.

Approach: Using SAM, one of the foundation models, as a baseline, we employed a semi-supervised learning method that incorporates Dice loss and cosine similarity between feature maps of the labeled and unlabeled data.

Results: The model achieved performance comparable to fully supervised models, demonstrating robust segmentation in both open- and closed-mouth positions, regardless of disc position.

Impact: The proposed model has the potential to assist dental clinicians by improving the accuracy and consistency of TMJ MRI interpretation while reducing manual effort. This approach could facilitate further exploration into automated diagnostics across various imaging modalities, enhancing clinical workflows.
