N2 - Nasopalatine duct cysts are difficult to detect on panoramic radiographs due to obstructive shadows and are often overlooked. Therefore, sensitive detection using panoramic radiography is clinically important. This study aimed to create a trained model to detect nasopalatine duct cysts from panoramic radiographs in a graphical user interface-based environment. This study was conducted on panoramic radiographs and CT images of 115 patients with nasopalatine duct cysts. As controls, 230 age- and sex-matched patients without cysts were selected from the same database. The 345 pre-processed panoramic radiographs were divided into 216 training data sets, 54 validation data sets, and 75 test data sets. Deep learning was performed for 400 epochs using pretrained-LeNet and pretrained-VGG16 as the convolutional neural networks to classify the cysts. The deep learning system's accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity using LeNet and VGG16 were calculated. LeNet and VGG16 showed an accuracy rate of 85.3% and 88.0%, respectively. A simple deep learning method using a graphical user interface-based Windows machine was able to create a trained model to detect nasopalatine duct cysts from panoramic radiographs, and may be used to prevent such cysts being overlooked during imaging.
