Abstract Background Radiomics is a novel method of extracting data from medical images that is difficult to visualise through the naked eye. This technique transforms digital images that hold information on pathology into high-dimensional-data for analysis. Radiomics has the potential to enhance laryngeal cancer care and to date, has shown promise in various other specialties. Aim The aim of this review is to summarise the applications of this technique to laryngeal cancer and potential future benefits. Method A comprehensive systematic review-informed search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE online databases was undertaken. Keywords ‘laryngeal cancer’ OR ‘larynx’ OR ‘larynx cancer’ OR ‘head and neck cancer’ were combined with ‘radiomic’ OR ‘signature’ OR ‘machine learning’ OR ‘artificial intelligence’. Additional articles were obtained from bibliographies using the ‘snowball method’. Results Seventeen articles were identified that evaluated the role of radiomics in laryngeal cancer. Two studies affirmed the value of radiomics in improving the accuracy of staging, whilst fifteen studies highlighted the potential prognostic value of radiomics in laryngeal cancer. Twelve (of thirteen) studies incorporated an array of different head and neck cancers in the analysis and only one study assessed laryngeal cancer exclusively. Conclusions Literature to date has various limitations including, small and heterogeneous cohorts incorporating patients with head and neck cancers of distinct anatomical subsites and stages. The lack of uniform data on solely laryngeal cancer and radiomics means drawing conclusions is difficult, although these studies have affirmed its value. Further large prospective studies exclusively in laryngeal cancer are required to unlock its true potential.

Abstract The computed tomography angiography (CTA) postprocessing manually recognized by technologists is extremely labor intensive and error prone. We propose an artificial intelligence reconstruction system supported by an optimized physiological anatomical-based 3D convolutional neural network that can automatically achieve CTA reconstruction in healthcare services. This system is trained and tested with 18,766 head and neck CTA scans from 5 tertiary hospitals in China collected between June 2017 and November 2018. The overall reconstruction accuracy of the independent testing dataset is 0.931. It is clinically applicable due to its consistency with manually processed images, which achieves a qualification rate of 92.1%. This system reduces the time consumed from 14.22 ± 3.64 min to 4.94 ± 0.36 min, the number of clicks from 115.87 ± 25.9 to 4 and the labor force from 3 to 1 technologist after five months application. Thus, the system facilitates clinical workflows and provides an opportunity for clinical technologists to improve humanistic patient care.

Modern introductory courses on AI do not train students to create intelligent systems or provide broad coverage of this complex field. In this paper, we identify problems with common approaches to teaching artificial intelligence and suggest alternative principles that courses should adopt instead. We illustrate these principles in a proposed course that teaches students not only about component methods, such as pattern matching and decision making, but also about their combination into higher-level abilities for reasoning, sequential control, plan generation, and integrated intelligent agents. We also present a curriculum that instantiates this organization, including sample programming exercises and a project that requires system integration. Participants also gain experience building knowledge-based agents that use their software to produce intelligent behavior.
