DeMambaNet: Deformable Convolution and Mamba Integration Network for High-Precision Segmentation of Ambiguously Defined Dental Radicular Boundaries.

The incorporation of automatic segmentation methodologies into dental X-ray images refined the paradigms of clinical diagnostics and therapeutic planning by facilitating meticulous, pixel-level articulation of both dental structures and proximate tissues. This underpins the pillars of early pathological detection and meticulous disease progression monitoring. Nonetheless, conventional segmentation frameworks often encounter significant setbacks attributable to the intrinsic limitations of X-ray imaging, including compromised image fidelity, obscured delineation of structural boundaries, and the intricate anatomical structures of dental constituents such as pulp, enamel, and dentin. To surmount these impediments, we propose the Deformable Convolution and Mamba Integration Network, an innovative 2D dental X-ray image segmentation architecture, which amalgamates a Coalescent Structural Deformable Encoder, a Cognitively-Optimized Semantic Enhance Module, and a Hierarchical Convergence Decoder. Collectively, these components bolster the management of multi-scale global features, fortify the stability of feature representation, and refine the amalgamation of feature vectors. A comparative assessment against 14 baselines underscores its efficacy, registering a 0.95% enhancement in the Dice Coefficient and a diminution of the 95th percentile Hausdorff Distance to 7.494.
