Submandibular Sialolithiasis in a 9-year-old child: case report [PDF]
Sialolithiasis rarely occurs in children; it is observed more commonly in adults. Various treatment modalities for sialolithiasis have been reported in literature; we report the case of 9 years old child, with no particular pathological history. For 4 years, he had a tumefaction of the left submandibular region, associated with painful blocking ...

Deep learning based CT-to-CBCT deformable image registration for autosegmentation in head and neck adaptive radiation therapy [PDF]
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.

Endoscopic resection of the submandibular gland: a new surgical approach
Introduction: Submandibular gland excision is traditionally performed by the transcervical approach. To avoid or reduce visible scarring and nerve injury, diverse innovative surgical trials have been reported.

Actinomycosis and Sialolithiasis in Submandibular Gland [PDF]
Actinomycosis is a subacute or chronic suppurative infection caused by Actinomyces species, which are anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria that normally colonize the human mouth and digestive and urogenital tracts. Cervicofacial actinomycosis is the most frequent clinical form of actinomycosis, and is associated with odontogenic infection. Characterized by

Nested-block self-attention for robust radiotherapy planning segmentation [PDF]
Although deep convolutional networks have been widely studied for head and neck (HN) organs at risk (OAR) segmentation, their use for routine clinical treatment planning is limited by a lack of robustness to imaging artifacts, low soft tissue contrast on CT, and the presence of abnormal anatomy.

AnatomyNet: Deep Learning for Fast and Fully Automated Whole-volume Segmentation of Head and Neck Anatomy [PDF]
Methods: Our deep learning model, called AnatomyNet, segments OARs from head and neck CT images in an end-to-end fashion, receiving whole-volume HaN CT images as input and generating masks of all OARs of interest in one shot. AnatomyNet is built upon the popular 3D U-net architecture, but extends it in three important ways: 1) a new encoding scheme to ...

Lymphomas affecting the submandibular glands [PDF]
Lymphomas affecting the submandibular glands are very uncommon and few reports are currently available in the literature. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to describe the clinical and microscopic features of an original series of lymphomas affecting the submandibular glands.The pathology files of two institutions were searched for lymphoma ...

Classification of anatomic structures in head and neck by CT-based radiomics [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we analyzed the radiomics features of 22 anatomical structures in the head and neck area in CT images.
