Ectopic internal carotid artery presenting as an oropharyngeal mass
Ectopic internal carotid artery (ICA) is a very rare variation. The major congenital abnormalities of the ICA can be classified as agenesis, aplasia and hypoplasia, and they can be unilateral or bilateral.

Neural Transformers for Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN) Classification in MRI images [PDF]
Early detection of precancerous cysts or neoplasms, i.e., Intraductal Papillary Mucosal Neoplasms (IPMN), in pancreas is a challenging and complex task, and it may lead to a more favourable outcome. Once detected, grading IPMNs accurately is also necessary, since low-risk IPMNs can be under surveillance program, while high-risk IPMNs have to be ...

Mathematical modelling, selection and hierarchical inference to determine the minimal dose in IFN$α$ therapy against Myeloproliferative Neoplasms [PDF]
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) are blood cancers that appear after acquiring a driver mutation in a hematopoietic stem cell. These hematological malignancies result in the overproduction of mature blood cells and, if not treated, induce a risk of cardiovascular events and thrombosis. Pegylated IFN$\alpha$ is commonly used to treat MPN, but no clear

Isolated hypopharynx lipoma: a case presentation and literature review
Background Lipomas are the most common benign mesenchymal tumors. They are defined as subcutaneous neoplasms of mature adipocyte cells that can occur wherever fatty tissue is. Lipomas are rare in the upper aerodigestive tract.

Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening Segmentation with Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks in High Resolution Cervical Auscultation [PDF]
Upper esophageal sphincter is an important anatomical landmark of the swallowing process commonly observed through the kinematic analysis of radiographic examinations that are vulnerable to subjectivity and clinical feasibility issues. Acting as the doorway of esophagus, upper esophageal sphincter allows the transition of ingested materials from ...

Clinically significant anatomical variation of the retropharyngeal internal carotid arteries
Although interpatient variations in the course and anatomy of extracranial internal carotid arteries (EICAs) have been described previously, intrapatient variability is rarely cited in the literature.

Computational Intelligence Approach to Improve the Classification Accuracy of Brain Neoplasm in MRI Data [PDF]
Automatic detection of brain neoplasm in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is gaining importance in many medical diagnostic applications. This report presents two improvements for brain neoplasm detection in MRI data: an advanced preprocessing technique is proposed to improve the area of interest in MRI data and a hybrid technique using Convolutional ...
