Abstract:Purpose
To develop machine-learning models based on morphological features extracted from preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict lymph node status in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC).
Method
This study retrospectively enrolled 90 OTSCC patients, of whom 45 and 13 patients, respectively, had confirmed lymph node metastasis (LNM) and extranodal extension (ENE). Fourteen morphological features and two customized metrics were derived from T2-weighted (T2W) images. Tumor maximum diame… Show more
