Panoramic Radiograph Generation and Image Reconstruction from Latent Vectors Using a Generative Adversarial Network.

Abstract

In this study, StyleGAN2 was trained with panoramic radiographs, and original images were projected into the latent space of StyleGAN2. The resulting latent vectors were input into StyleGAN2, and corresponding images were generated to reconstruct the original images. The original and reconstructed images were evaluated by pediatric dentists and found to be similar. Our results suggest that StyleGAN2 could be applied to the anonymization and data compression of medical images.
