PURPOSE: The main purpose of this work was to develop an efficient approach for segmentation of structures that are relevant for diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), namely pharynx, tongue, and soft palate, from mid-sag...
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To quantitatively measure volumetric changes in upper airway soft tissue structures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre- and post transoral robotic surgery for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA-TORS).
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of a cascaded two-stage convolutional neural network (CNN) model in detecting upper airway (UA) soft tissue landmarks in comparison with the skeletal landmarks on the lateral cephalometric...
