Effect of Lossy JPEG Compression on AI Diagnostic Output Stability in Panoramic Radiograph Analysis.

Journal of dentistry · Fidler A, Krenker V, Karobari MI, Chaurasia A · 2026-09-12

Researchers tested how JPEG compression affects an AI system's consistency when analysing panoramic radiographs, finding that compression levels of 50 or higher maintained reliable output for clinically important findings, whilst lower levels caused meaningful loss of detection particularly for periapical radiolucency and caries.
