Supervised deep learning methods for MSC segmentation typically rely on labor-intensive manual annotation of MSC for network training. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a condition-label-free deep learning framework (SinusNet+) for MSC segmentation in CBCT images, in which network training does not require manual MSC annotations and instead relies on synthetic conditions generated within the normal maxillary sinus (MS).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To generate synthetic MSC in normal MS, a synthetic condition generator was introduced to simulate MSC within the normal MS by varying texture, shape, and noise, thereby approximating a range of radiographic appearances of MSC in CBCT images.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>SinusNet+ achieved an average Dice similarity coefficient of 0.820\u2009\u00b1\u20090.110, precision of 0.878\u00b10.061, and recall of 0.777\u00b10.145, respectively.
