PURPOSE: Nearly everyone had experience of eyelid twitching (ET) and most physicians think it is benign and self limited. Most neurologists consider it is a symptom rather a disease. However, sometimes ET persists longer and becomes bothersome in som...

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
