Semantic Convergence with LLMs for Head and Neck Cancer Quality Indicators.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We developed a novel method for leveraging large language models (LLM) to systematically filter and categorize large numbers of clinical quality indicators (CQI) for head and neck cancer. This was used to transform a tedious, human-resource intensive...

Advances in virtual surgical planning for free tissue transfer.

Current opinion in otolaryngology & head and neck surgery
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review seeks to describe the current state of virtual surgical planning (VSP) for head and neck free flap reconstruction, highlighting recent advancements, future directions, and outstanding limitations.

Automatic contour quality assurance using deep-learning based contours.

Physics in medicine and biology
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...

U-Attention-Net: a deep learning automatic delineation model for parotid glands in head and neck cancer organs at risk on radiotherapy localization computed tomography images.

Physica medica : PM : an international journal devoted to the applications of physics to medicine and biology : official journal of the Italian Association of Biomedical Physics (AIFB)
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a novel deep learning model, U-Attention-Net (UA-Net), for precise segmentation of parotid glands on radiotherapy localization CT images.

Machine learning explainability for survival outcome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

International journal of medical informatics
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...

Development and experimental verification of a prognosis model for hypoxia- and lactate metabolism-associated genes in HNSCC.

Medicine
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...

Automatic head and neck tumor segmentation through deep learning and Bayesian optimization on three-dimensional medical images.

Computers in biology and medicine
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...

Automated annotation of virtual dual stains to generate convolutional neural network for detecting cancer metastases in H&E-stained lymph nodes.

Pathology, research and practice
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.

The Limitations of Artificial Intelligence in Head and Neck Oncology.

Advances in therapy
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...
