Deep learning based CT-to-CBCT deformable image registration for autosegmentation in head and neck adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The purpose of this study is to develop a deep learning based method that can automatically generate segmentations on cone-beam CT (CBCT) for head and neck online adaptive radiation therapy (ART), where expert-drawn contours in planning CT (pCT) can serve as prior knowledge.

A Rare Case of Parotid Gland Tuberculosis
Case Reports in Pediatrics, 2021 Parotid gland tuberculosis is a very rare form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with less than 200 cases reported in literature. We describe a 10-year-old female who presented with a swelling in the left parotid region during the last month.

ORGAN-PRESERVING MICROSURGERY FOR PLEOMORPHIC ADENOMA OF THE PAROTID SALIVARY GLAND
Проблеми екології та медицини, 2023 Of the total number of salivary gland tumors, the parotid gland is affected by the tumoral process in 76.4–90% of cases. Among benign tumors of the parotid gland, the most frequent tumor (61.2–90%) is pleomorphic adenoma.

Negative-contrast neurography: Imaging the extracranial facial nerve and its branches using contrast-enhanced variable flip angle turbo spin echo MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Background and Purpose: Various 'positive-contrast' neurographic methods have been investigated for imaging the extracranial course of the facial nerve. However, nerve visibility can be inconsistent with these sequences and may depend on the composition of the parotid gland, limiting consistent identification.

Automatic identification of segmentation errors for radiotherapy using geometric learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Automatic segmentation of organs-at-risk (OARs) in CT scans using convolutional neural networks (CNNs) is being introduced into the radiotherapy workflow. However, these segmentations still require manual editing and approval by clinicians prior to clinical use, which can be time consuming.

Investigating heterogeneous PSMA ligand uptake inside parotid glands [PDF]
Physica Medica: European Journal of Medical Physics, 2024The purpose was to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) uptake within parotid glands. We aim to quantify patterns in well-defined regions to facilitate further investigations.
