Sixty-two patients were enrolled in the study with intraoral radiograph images and a histological reference study. Full textural analysis was performed using MaZda software. For over 10,000 features, logistic regression models were applied. Fragments containing lesion edges were characterized by significant correlation of structural information. Although the input images were stored using lossy compression and their scale was not preserved, the obtained results confirmed the possibility of distinguishing between cysts and granulomas with use of textural analysis of intraoral radiographs. It was shown that the important information distinguishing the aforementioned types of lesions is located at the edges and not within the lesion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21227481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,11]],"date-time":"2021-11-11T23:04:46Z","timestamp":1636671886000},"page":"7481","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Differential Diagnosis of Cysts and Granulomas Supported by Texture Analysis of Intraoral Radiographs"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"El\u017cbieta","family":"Pociask","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5137-5732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karolina","family":"Nurzynska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Algorithmics and Software, Silesian University of Technology, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland"}]},{"given":"Rafa\u0142","family":"Obuchowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Diagnostic Imaging, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, 31-501 Krakow, Poland"}]},{"given":"Paulina","family":"Ba\u0142on","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Uryga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Surgery, Medical College, Jagiellonian University, 31-155 Krakow, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9102-4929","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Strzelecki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Electronics, Lodz University of Technology, 93-590 Lodz, Poland"}]},{"given":"Andrzej","family":"Izworski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4773-5322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Pi\u00f3rkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, AGH University of Science and Technology, 30-059 Krakow, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/S1079-2104(96)80156-9","article-title":"Types and incidence of human periapical lesions obtained with extracted teeth","volume":"81","author":"Nair","year":"1996","journal-title":"Oral Surg.
