Deep Learning for Endoscopic Classification of Adenoid Hypertrophy
World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Endoscopy is a convenient and widely used method to evaluate adenoid size, but the subjectivity of its image diagnosis can result in over‐ or underestimation. To create a new assessment strategy for adenoid hypertrophy, we developed a reliable method for automated classification using a deep learning algorithm with nasal endoscopic ...
