PURPOSE: To develop an AI-based diagnostic model for assessing cervical lymph nodes in head and neck malignant tumors using MRI, enabling non-invasive pre-surgical metastasis diagnosis.
Safe deployment of auto-contouring models requires the inclusion of automated quality assurance (QA). One such approach is to use two independent auto-contouring models and compare them geometrically for acceptability. This is not effective because g...

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) induces psychological variables and treatment-related toxicity in patients. The evaluation of outcomes is warranted for effective treatment planning and improved dis...
Hypoxia and lactate metabolism are both distinctive characteristics of cancerous cells. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer. The objective of this study was to construct a prognostic model of gen...
Medical imaging constitutes critical information in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of patients, as it serves to uncover a broad spectrum of pathologies and deviances. Clinical practitioners who carry out medical image screening are primaril...
CONTEXT: Staging cancer patients is crucial and requires analyzing all removed lymph nodes microscopically for metastasis. For this pivotal task, convolutional neural networks (CNN) can reduce workload and improve diagnostic accuracy.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing head and neck oncology, offering innovations in tumor detection, treatment planning, and patient management. However, its integration into clinical practice is hindered by several limitations. These inc...
