Contrast-enhanced computed tomography image assessment of cervical lymph node metastasis in patients with oral cancer by using a deep learning system of artificial intelligence.
Although the deep learning system has been applied to interpretation of medical images, its application to the diagnosis of cervical lymph nodes in patients with oral cancer has not yet been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of deep learning image classification for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis. ⋯ The deep learning system yielded diagnostic results similar to those of the radiologists, which suggests that this system may be valuable for diagnostic support.
