OBJECTIVES: In this study, we constructed and validated models based on deep learning and radiomics to facilitate preoperative diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT).
BACKGROUND: The accurate identification and evaluation of lymph nodes by CT images is of great significance for disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

Accurate lymph node size estimation is critical for staging cancer patients, initial therapeutic management, and assessing response to therapy. Current standard practice for quantifying lymph node size is based on a variety of criteria that use uni-d...
Occult nodal metastasis (ONM) plays a significant role in comprehensive treatments of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aims to develop a deep learning signature based on positron emission tomography/computed tomography to predict ONM of...
For patients with testicular tumors who need the surgical management, open retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (O-RPLND) is considered the gold standard treatment. However, recently, robot-assisted RPLND (R-RPLND) has gained popularity as a minimal...
BACKGROUND: We aimed to construct and validate a deep learning (DL) radiomics nomogram using baseline and restage enhanced computed tomography (CT) images and clinical characteristics to predict the response of metastatic lymph nodes to neoadjuvant c...
