Artificial Intelligence Supported Image Reviewing
Conditions
Keywords
artificial intelligence, image reviewing, magnetic resonance imaging
Brief summary
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate whether the previously developed artificial intelligence model can triage post-radiotherapy magnetic resonance images of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma and assist radiologists in their interpretation.
Interventions
An artificial intelligence model predicts the risk and contours of local recurrence for MR images and triages them before radiologists interpret them.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients with treatment naive nasopharyngeal carcinoma who had finished radiotherapy for 6 months or more * The previous magnetic resonance imaging examination had showed complete remission in the primary site * Images are acquired using a 3T magnetic resonance imaging device, including unenhanced T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted sequences
Exclusion criteria
* Patients are enrolled in this study for a specific magnetic resonance imaging scan and not for subsequent follow-up magnetic resonance imaging scans.
