Deep learning-based allergic rhinitis diagnosis using nasal endoscopy images. [PDF]
Allergic rhinitis typically has edematous and pale turbinates or erythematous and inflamed turbinates. While traditional approaches include using skin prick tests (SPT) to determine the presence of AR, It is often not related to actual symptoms, and it ...
