University of Copenhagen
A PhD fellowship is offered at Department of Odontology commencing on 1 August 2021 or as soon as possible.
The PhD student will be developing innovative and practical AI solutions in the field of dentistry. His/her particular responsibilities will be the analysis and pre-processing of dental X-rays, development of an AI-based algorithm for segmentation of dental structures and validation using clinical data from the Department of Odontology. Results have potential to be published in top journals in the field of dental imaging and medical image analysis.
Project description Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have huge potential for dentistry, but have been used only in a few studies so far.
High precision data can be beneficial for general dental practice and for society as a whole. Merging dental data with other medical databases could provide a complete and individual health profile prior to treatment. AI can provide an immediate validated state-of-the-art interpretation of potential signs of diseases that can inform dentists during examination, diagnostics and treatment planning.
Big Data is a central theme in the research strategy at the Department of Odontology.
The project is based on the electronic patient file system used at the Department of Odontology, which includes at least 1.5 million digital X-rays, patient data from 270.000 persons and high quality clinical images covering a 10-year period of patient flows. These unique data are ideal for the application of AI and machine learning in order to improve pre-, intra- and post-treatment data. This project will focus on dental variables on x-rays specifically within the field of cariology (decayed teeth) and endodontics (root treatments) and it will form part of a larger collaborative project covering Big Data.
The objectives of the PhD project include extraction of relevant x-ray images, optimizing the images for further data analyses (conversion and pre-processing) as well as labelling dental variables for pathological conditions and sequelae (i.e. carious lesion depths, presence of apical periodontitis, restoration outlines and root fillings). Identical procedures will cover key anatomical landmarks.
The PhD fellow will be expected to participate in the development and use of an artificial deep neural network for automatic segmentation of x-rays of healthy teeth vs. teeth with pathological conditions.
The overall objectives of the project:
It is expected that a successful application of AI on dental data will provide an interactive platform enhancing the decision process in the general dental practice.
Supervision
The project will be carried out under the supervision of:
Qualifications
The candidate must hold a Master’s degree of Computer Science and must document skills in image analysis, machine learning, and Python programming language. Experience working with dental x-rays, medical images and machine learning-based clinical decision making will be a great advantage.
It is a prerequisite that the candidate can be enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences.
Terms of employment
The employment is for a 3-year period, and full time (37 hrs/week). A stipend will cover the salary and standard courses for the 3-year period.
Salary and other terms and conditions of appointment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations). The candidate is required to perform assigned tasks in connection with teaching etc. up to 840 work hours during the period of employment.
