RDFNet: A Fast Caries Detection Method Incorporating Transformer Mechanism

Dental caries is a prevalent disease of the human oral cavity. Given the lack of research on digital images for caries detection, we construct a caries detection dataset based on the caries images annotated by professional dentists and propose RDFNet, a fast caries detection method for the requireme...
