Quantitative single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) using Tc-99m pertechnetate aids in evaluating salivary gland function. However, gland segmentation and quantitation of gland uptake is challenging. We develop a sa...
BACKGROUND: Despite the increasing use of intraoperative facial nerve monitoring during parotid gland surgery (PGS) and the improvement in the preoperative radiological assessment, facial nerve injury (FNI) remains the most severe complication after ...
INTRODUCTION: Manual quality assurance (QA) of radiotherapy contours for clinical trials is time and labor intensive and subject to inter-observer variability. Therefore, we investigated whether deep-learning (DL) can provide an automated solution to...
We hypothesized that, in discrimination between benign and malignant parotid gland tumors, high diagnostic accuracy could be obtained with a small amount of imbalanced data when anomaly detection (AD) was combined with deep leaning (DL) model and the...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to investigate the value of a deep learning (DL) model based on greyscale ultrasound (US) images for precise assessment and accurate diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Advances in computer technology and growing expectations from computer-aided systems have led to the evolution of artificial intelligence into subsets, such as deep learning and radiomics, and the use of these systems is revolution...
Various MRI sequences have shown their potential to discriminate parotid gland tumors, including but not limited to T -weighted, postcontrast T -weighted, and diffusion-weighted images. In this study, we present a fully automatic system for the diagn...
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a deep learning system for the detection of Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) in ultrasonography (US) images, and compared it with the performance of inexperienced radiologists.

PURPOSE: Xerostomia commonly occurs in patients who undergo head and neck radiation therapy and can seriously affect patients' quality of life. In this study, we developed a xerostomia prediction model with radiation treatment data using a 3-dimensio...
OBJECTIVES: This study estimated the diagnostic performance of a deep learning system for detection of Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) on CT, and compared it with the performance of radiologists.
