IMPORTANCE: Accurate pre-treatment prediction of distant metastasis in patients with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) enables the implementation of appropriate treatment strategies for high-risk individuals.
BACKGROUND: Manual segment target volumes were time-consuming and inter-observer variability couldn't be avoided. With the development of computer science, auto-segmentation had the potential to solve this problem.

BACKGROUND: Images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are crucial unstructured data for prognostic evaluation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). We developed and validated a prognostic system based on the MRI features and clinical data of locoregi...
Differentiating between nasopharyngeal cancer and nasopharyngeal malignant lymphoma (ML) remains challenging on cross-sectional images. The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of texture features on unenhanced CT for differentiating be...
PURPOSE: To identify optimal machine learning methods for radiomics-based differentiation of local recurrence versus inflammation from post-treatment nasopharyngeal positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT) images.
INTRODUCTION: Radiotherapy is a valid treatment option for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, complications can occur following irradiation of the closest anatomical structures, including brainstem radionecrosis (BRN). The rehabilitation is poorly de...
