Abstract

Purpose This study aims to review deep learning applications for detecting head and neck cancer (HNC) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radiographic data. Methods Through January 2023, a PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Google Scholar, IEEE, and arXiv search were carried out. The inclusion criteria were implementing head and neck medical images (computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), MRI, Planar scans, and panoramic X-ray) of human subjects with segmentation, object detection, and classification deep learning models for head and neck cancers. The risk of bias was rated with the quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies (QUADAS-2) tool. For the meta-analysis diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) was calculated. Deeks' funnel plot was used to assess publication bias. MIDAS and Metandi packages were used to analyze diagnostic test accuracy in STATA. Results From 1967 studies, 32 were found eligible after the search and screening procedures. According to the QUADAS-2 tool, 7 included studies had a low risk of bias for all domains. According to the results of all included studies, the accuracy varied from 82.6 to 100%. Additionally, specificity ranged from 66.6 to 90.1%, sensitivity from 74 to 99.68%. Fourteen studies that provided sufficient data were included for meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity was 90% (95% CI 0.820.94), and the pooled specificity was 92% (CI 95% 0.87-0.96). The DORs were 103 (27-251). Publication bias was not detected based on the p-value of 0.75 in the meta-analysis. Conclusion With a head and neck screening deep learning model, detectable screening processes can be enhanced with high specificity and sensitivity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
