Vascularity Outcomes of Lingual Artery Ligation in Transoral Robotic Base of Tongue Resections.

Otolaryngology--head and neck surgery : official journal of American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery
To explore the effect of lingual artery ligation on tongue vascularity, we performed an analysis of 25 patients who underwent transoral robotic surgery for base of tongue cancers (May 2011 to December 2019). Hounsfield units of the intrinsic muscles ...

Fully-channel regional attention network for disease-location recognition with tongue images.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
OBJECTIVE: Using the deep learning model to realize tongue image-based disease location recognition and focus on solving two problems: 1. The ability of the general convolution network to model detailed regional tongue features is weak; 2. Ignoring t...

Tongue image quality assessment based on a deep convolutional neural network.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Tongue diagnosis is an important research field of TCM diagnostic technology modernization. The quality of tongue images is the basis for constructing a standard dataset in the field of tongue diagnosis. To establish a standard tongue ima...

E-sensing and nanoscale-sensing devices associated with data processing algorithms applied to food quality control: a systematic review.

Critical reviews in food science and nutrition
Devices of human-based senses such as e-noses, e-tongues and e-eyes can be used to analyze different compounds in several food matrices. These sensors allow the detection of one or more compounds present in complex food samples, and the responses obt...

A deep cascaded segmentation of obstructive sleep apnea-relevant organs from sagittal spine MRI.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
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...

Tongue Tumor Detection in Hyperspectral Images Using Deep Learning Semantic Segmentation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The utilization of hyperspectral imaging (HSI) in real-time tumor segmentation during a surgery have recently received much attention, but it remains a very challenging task.

Establishment of noninvasive diabetes risk prediction model based on tongue features and machine learning techniques.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a chronic noncommunicable disease with high incidence rate. Diabetics without early diagnosis or standard treatment may contribute to serious multisystem complications, which can be life threatening. Timely detection and inter...

Automatic Construction of Chinese Herbal Prescriptions From Tongue Images Using CNNs and Auxiliary Latent Therapy Topics.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
The tongue image provides important physical information of humans. It is of great importance for diagnoses and treatments in clinical medicine. Herbal prescriptions are simple, noninvasive, and have low side effects. Thus, they are widely applied in...

Effect of cross-cultural differences on thickness, firmness and sweetness sensitivity.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Sensitivity of the somatosensory system may be influenced by multiple physiological parameters. Variations in oral physiology can arise from cross-cultural differences which may potentially affect sensory sensitivity. The aim of this case study was t...

Comparison of manual and machine learning image processing approaches to determine fungiform papillae on the tongue.

Scientific reports
Human taste perception is associated with the papillae on the tongue as they contain a large proportion of chemoreceptors for basic tastes and other chemosensation. Especially the density of fungiform papillae (FP) is considered as an index for respo...
