Abstract
BACKGROUND: Petrous temporal bone cone-beam computed tomography scans help aid diagnosis and accurate identification of key operative landmarks in temporal bone and mastoid surgery. Our primary objective was to determine the accuracy of using a deep learning convolutional neural network algorithm to augment identification of structures on petrous temporal bone cone-beam computed tomography. Our secondary objective was to compare the accuracy of convolutional neural network structure identification when trained by a senior versus junior clinician.
