ArXi:2604.10945v1 Announce Type: cross Accurate assessment of spheno-occipital synchondrosis (SOS) maturation is a key indicator of craniofacial growth and a critical determinant for orthodontic and surgical timing. However, SOS staging from cone-beam CT (CBCT) relies on subtle, continuously evolving morphological cues, leading to high inter-observer variability and poor reproducibility, especially at transitional fusion stages.
