Article Comparative Evaluation of Vision Transformers and Convolutional Networks for Breast Ultrasound Image Classification(Open Exploration Publishing Inc, 2026) Naral S.; Cakmak Y.; Pacal I.; Pacal, Ishak; Cakmak, Yigitcan; Naral, SuleymanAim: Interobserver variability continues to limit the consistency of breast ultrasound interpretation. This study compares two Vision Transformer (ViT) models and two Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models for automated three-class breast ultrasound classification, with a specific focus on the tradeoff between predictive performance and computational efficiency. Methods: Swin Transformer Base and DeiT Base were evaluated alongside InceptionV3 and MobileNetV3 Large using the public Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset, which contains 780 images labeled as benign, malignant, and normal. A consistent on-the-fly augmentation pipeline was applied during training to promote robustness and reduce sensitivity to incidental image variations. Results: Swin Transformer Base achieved the highest test accuracy (0.9167) and F1 score (0.8981). MobileNetV3 Large reached an accuracy of 0.8583 with substantially lower computational demand. The efficiency contrast was pronounced, with Swin requiring 30.33 GFLOPs versus 0.43 GFLOPs for MobileNetV3 Large. Conclusions: On this benchmark, ViT models can yield higher classification performance, while lightweight CNNs offer a strong efficiency profile that may better match deployment-constrained settings. These results suggest that model selection should be guided by both predictive accuracy and operational feasibility within the target clinical workflow. © The Author(s) 2026.Article Denta-Hybridonet: A Hybrid CNN-Transformer Architecture for Automated Detection of Developmental Dental Anomalies in Pediatric Panoramic Radiographs(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2026) Eskibaglar, Busra Karaagac; Yavuz, Yelda Polat; Dogan, Gizem Karagoz; Algarni, Ali; Cakmak, Yigitcan; Pacal, IshakAccurate identification of developmental dental anomalies (DDAs) in children is clinically important; however, interpreting panoramic radiographs can still vary across readers because of mixed dentition, anatomical overlap, and variable image quality. This variability may delay recognition and complicate early interventional planning. In this study, we curated a pediatric panoramic dataset of 2,001 radiographs (ages 6-14 years) spanning five categories: Dilaceration, Ectopy, Hypodontia, Taurodontism, and Healthy. All images were independently labeled by three experienced pediatric dentists. To avoid patient-level leakage, the dataset was divided into training, validation, and held-out test sets using a patient-wise split. We propose Denta-HybridoNet, a hybrid convolution-transformer architecture designed to capture both fine-grained tooth morphology and broader, arch-wide contextual patterns. Its InceptionNeXt-gMLP block supports multi-scale local representation learning, which helps the model focus on subtle morphological cues, whereas the Swin-gMLP block provides efficient global context modeling across the dental arch. In addition, a gated multilayer perceptron (gMLP) module refines the feature transformation through context-dependent modulation, strengthening diagnostically relevant signals while reducing the influence of irrelevant variation and radiographic noise. To ensure a fair comparison, we benchmarked Denta-HybridoNet against 22 recent convolutional and transformer-based models under the same training protocol and evaluation conditions. On the held-out test set, the proposed method achieved 91.15% accuracy and 91.20% F1 score, representing the best overall performance among the compared architectures. Ablation studies quantified the contributions of hybrid design and gMLP, and Grad-CAM analyses supported interpretability by highlighting clinically meaningful regions.
