Why Does Detection Vary Between Similar Images?
Pearl analyzes each image independently, even when the images are of the same tooth or area. This means that slight differences in how the X-ray is taken can result in different AI detections.
Why It Happens
-
Angulation: A small change in how the X-ray beam hits the tooth can affect visibility.
-
Lighting & Exposure: Variations in brightness or contrast can influence detection accuracy.
-
Image Resolution: Higher or lower quality images may highlight or obscure details.
These differences mimic how human interpretation of radiographs can vary from image to image. Pearl offers an additional perspective, helping support your clinical judgment—not replace it.
What You Can Do

Always compare AI results with your clinical assessment.
-
Use tools like Compare View to analyze multiple images side-by-side.
