Abstract

BACKGROUND: Discrimination of nasal cavity mass lesions is a challenging work requiring extensive experience. A deep learning-based automated diagnostic system may help clinicians to classify nasal cavity mass lesions. We demonstrated the feasibility of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based diagnosis system for automatic detection and classification of nasal polyps (NP) and inverted papillomas (IP).
