Researchers developed a generative model that creates realistic panoramic dental radiographs from text descriptions of diseases and sketch-based anatomical guidance, addressing data scarcity and annotation challenges. The synthetic images improved AI segmentation and diagnostic performance when added to training datasets and were judged clinically realistic by radiologists.
