OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To develop a deep-learning-based automatic diagnosis system for identifying nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from noncancer (inflammation and hyperplasia), using both white light imaging (WLI) and narrow-band imaging (NBI) nasoph...
BACKGROUND: Induction chemotherapy (ICT) plus concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and CCRT alone were the optional treatment regimens in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Currently, the choice of them remains equivocal ...
In this work, we develop a deep learning-guided fiberoptic Raman diagnostic platform to assess its ability of real-time nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) diagnosis and post-treatment follow-up of NPC patients. The robust Raman diagnostic platform is es...
OBJECTIVES: We aimed to build a survival system by combining a highly-accurate machine learning (ML) model with explainable artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to predict distant metastasis in locoregionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC...

PURPOSE: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a category of tumors with high incidence in head-and-neck (H&N) body region, and the diagnosis and treatment planning are usually conducted by radiologists manually, which is tedious, time-consuming and unre...
PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) show potential for delineating cancers on contrast-enhanced MRI (ce-MRI) but there are clinical scenarios in which administration of contrast is not desirable. We investigated performance of the CNN for d...
PURPOSE: A recurrent neural network (RNN) and its variants such as gated recurrent unit-based RNN (GRU-RNN) were found to be very suitable for dose-volume histogram (DVH) prediction in our previously published work. Using the dosimetric information g...

PURPOSE: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) offer a promising approach to automated segmentation. However, labeling contours on a large scale is laborious. Here we propose a method to improve segmentation continually with less labeling effort.
