. Radiation therapy (RT) represents a prevalent therapeutic modality for head and neck (H&N) cancer. A crucial phase in RT planning involves the precise delineation of organs-at-risks (OARs), employing computed tomography (CT) scans. Nevertheless, th...
BACKGROUND: To develop machine learning (ML) models predicting unplanned readmission and reoperation among patients undergoing free flap reconstruction for head and neck (HN) surgery.

BACKGROUND: New patient referrals are often processed by practice coordinators with little-to-no medical background. Treatment delays due to incorrect referral processing, however, have detrimental consequences. Identifying variables that are associa...
Cell-cell communication is essential to many key biological processes. Intercellular communication is generally mediated by ligand-receptor interactions (LRIs). Thus, building a comprehensive and high-quality LRI resource can significantly improve in...

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence (AI) based commercial software can be used to automatically delineate organs at risk (OAR), with potential for efficiency savings in the radiotherapy treatment planning pathway, and reduction of inter- and intra-obser...
Locally advanced laryngeal cancers treatment often involves total laryngectomy, which some patients are unwilling to undergo, even if this choice reduces their survival probability. Therefore, the objective of laryngeal oncologic surgery is not only ...

PURPOSE: While dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) images provide clinically useful information than single-energy CT (SECT), SECT remains the most widely used CT system globally, and only a few institutions can use DECT. This study aimed to estab...
OBJECTIVES: Deep learning-based auto-segmentation of head and neck cancer (HNC) tumors is expected to have better reproducibility than manual delineation. Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) are commonly used in tumor segm...
