BACKGROUND: Magnetic resonance images (MRI) is the main diagnostic tool for risk stratification and treatment decision in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, the holistic feature information of multi-parametric MRIs has not been fully exploited ...

PURPOSE: To estimate the prognostic value of deep learning (DL) magnetic resonance (MR)-based radiomics for stage T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients receiving induction chemotherapy (ICT) prior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that deep learning can help tumor staging automatically. However, automatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) staging is difficult due to the lack of large and slice-level annotated datasets.
BACKGROUND: Early radiation-induced temporal lobe injury (RTLI) diagnosis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is clinically challenging, and prediction models of RTLI are lacking. Hence, we aimed to develop radiomic models for early detection of RTLI.
The pathologic diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) by different pathologists is often inefficient and inconsistent. We have therefore introduced a deep learning algorithm into this process and compared the performance of the model with that o...
PURPOSE: To develop and evaluate a novel method for pseudo-CT generation from multi-parametric MR images using multi-channel multi-path generative adversarial network (MCMP-GAN).
We aimed to assess the use of automatic machine learning (AutoML) algorithm based on magnetic resonance (MR) image data to assign prediction scores to patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We also aimed to develop a 4-group classification sys...
BACKGROUND: We performed a preclinical study to assess the feasibility of the cervical-transoral robotic pharyngectomy procedure in surgery for nasopharyngeal cancer, where deep margins and vascular safety are key issues.

In the paper, we propose a new deep learning-based method for segmenting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in the nasopharynx from three orthogonal CT images. The proposed method introduces a cascade strategy composed of two-phase manners. In CT images,...
