Abstract

BACKGROUND: Nasal polyps and inverted papillomas often look similar. Clinically, it is difficult to distinguish the masses by endoscopic examination. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to develop a deep learning algorithm for computer-aided diagnosis of nasal endoscopic images, which may provide a more accurate clinical diagnosis before pathologic confirmation of the nasal masses.
