Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Parotid gland tumors (PGTs) often occur as incidental findings on magnetic resonance images (MRI) that may be overlooked. This study aimed to construct and validate a deep learning model to automatically identify parotid glands (PGs) with a PGT from normal PGs, and in those with a PGT to segment the tumor.
