BACKGROUND: Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) has been the standard of care for many types of tumors. However, treatment planning for IMRT is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
Tumor segmentation is a fundamental step for radiotherapy treatment planning. To define an accurate segmentation of the primary tumor (GTVp) of oropharyngeal cancer patients (OPC) each image volume is explored slice-by-slice from different orientati...
Although some surgeons prefer anterolateral thigh and latissimus dorsi flap for soft tissue reconstruction in the head and neck area because it minimizes donor site complications, the radial forearm flap remains the workhorse for soft tissue reconstr...

The latest developments in the management of head and neck cancer show an increasing trend in the implementation of novel approaches using artificial intelligence for better patient stratification and treatment-related risk evaluation. Radiomics, or ...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Accurate pretreatment assessment of histological differentiation grade of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is crucial for prognosis evaluation. This study aimed to construct and validate a contrast-enhanced comp...
OBJECTIVES: Video laryngoscopy is an important diagnostic tool for head and neck cancers. The artificial intelligence (AI) system has been shown to monitor blind spots during esophagogastroduodenoscopy. This study aimed to test the performance of AI-...

Accurate clinical target volume (CTV) delineation is important for head and neck intensity-modulated radiation therapy. However, delineation is time-consuming and susceptible to interobserver variability (IOV). Based on a manual contouring process co...
BACKGROUND: Weak correlation between gamma passing rates and dose differences in target volumes and organs at risk (OARs) has been reported in several studies. Evaluation on the differences between planned dose-volume histogram (DVH) and reconstructe...
