Sex estimation with parameters of the facial canal by computed tomography using machine learning algorithms and artificial neural networks.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: The skull is highly durable and plays a significant role in sex determination as one of the most dimorphic bones. The facial canal (FC), a clinically significant canal within the temporal bone, houses the facial nerve. This study aims to ...

Automated facial nerve identification in microsurgery with an improved unet.

Journal of robotic surgery
To develop a deep-learning model that improves the segmentation and detection of Facial Nerve in microsurgery, thereby increasing surgical precision and safety. We collected videos from 25 patients undergoing facial nerve decompression microsurgery. ...

Prediction of facial nerve outcomes after surgery for vestibular schwannoma using machine learning-based models: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Neurosurgical review
Postoperative facial nerve (FN) dysfunction is associated with a significant impact on the quality of life of patients and can result in psychological stress and disorders such as depression and social isolation. Preoperative prediction of FN outcome...

An Open-Source, User-Friendly Machine-Learning Method for Automated Segmentation and Analysis of Peripheral Nerve Cross-Sections.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
BACKGROUND: Quantitative neuromorphometric analysis of the peripheral nerve is paramount to nerve regeneration research. However, this technique relies upon accurate segmentation and determination of myelin and axonal area. Manual histologic analysis...

Development and application of explainable artificial intelligence using machine learning classification for long-term facial nerve function after vestibular schwannoma surgery.

Journal of neuro-oncology
PURPOSE: Vestibular schwannomas (VSs) represent the most common cerebellopontine angle tumors, posing a challenge in preserving facial nerve (FN) function during surgery. We employed the Extreme Gradient Boosting machine learning classifier to predic...

Deep Learning for the Assessment of Facial Nerve Palsy: Opportunities and Challenges.

Facial plastic surgery : FPS
Automated evaluation of facial palsy using machine learning offers a promising solution to the limitations of current assessment methods, which can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to clinician bias. Deep learning-driven systems have t...

Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Predictive Model Combining Clinical and Radiomic Features for Short-Term Postoperative Facial Nerve Function in Acoustic Neuroma Patients.

Current medical science
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to construct and validate a predictable deep learning model associated with clinical data and multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for short-term postoperative facial nerve function in patients with acoustic neur...

Towards accurate facial nerve segmentation with decoupling optimization.

Physics in medicine and biology
Robotic cochlear implantation is an effective way to restore the hearing of hearing-impaired patients, and facial nerve recognition is the key to the operation. However, accurate facial nerve segmentation is a challenging task, mainly for two key iss...

Artificial intelligence in detection and segmentation of internal auditory canal and its nerves using deep learning techniques.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging is a burgeoning topic that involves the interpretation of complex image structures. The recent advancements in deep learning techniques increase the computational powers to extract vital featur...

A fully automatic radiomics pipeline for postoperative facial nerve function prediction of vestibular schwannoma.

Neuroscience
Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is the most prevalent intracranial schwannoma. Surgery is one of the options for the treatment of VS, with the preservation of facial nerve (FN) function being the primary objective. Therefore, postoperative FN function pre...
