DEXIS has announced its DTX Studio™ Clinic has received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for artificial intelligence (AI) findings on 2D intraoral x-ray images. DTX Studio Clinic now offers 6 types of pathological dental findings on periapical and bitewing intraoral images and is fully integrated into a practice’s imaging software, according to a press release from DEXIS.

DTX Studio Clinic is designed to screen dental radiographs and annotate suspected areas of interest, allowing clinicians to make informed decisions about diagnosis and treatment.
