Deep Learning Model for Diagnosis and Contour of Cervical Lymph Node for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Based Deep Learning Model for Diagnosis and Contour of Cervical Lymph Node for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: a Multicenter Study

The diagnosis of cervical lymph node in nasopharyngeal carcinoma is difficult. Magnetic resonance imaging based deep learning model may be a noninvasive and rapid diagnostic method for cervical lymph node. Thus, the investigators aimed to develop and externally validate a deep learning model to assist in the diagnosis and localization of metastatic lymph nodes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Pathological diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma; Cervival lymph nodes confirmed by pathology

Exclusion Criteria:

• a history of cancer
