Abstract

Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) poses formidable treatment challenges globally due to complex anatomy, image interpretation difficulties, and other obstacles, despite extensive research. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly computer vision (CV), have demonstrated substantial potential in improving HNC management, yielding notable progress.

Methods: We conducted a narrative review through massive literature research to explore the applications of CV in HNC and try to discuss its advantages as well as disadvantages through comparison.

Results: We summarize the applications and cutting-edge advances of CV in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis prediction in HNC, synthesize the concepts and workflow of CV and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of it. Additionally, we bridge the gap among healthcare professionals and AI researchers to promote the development of relevant fields jointly.

Conclusions: CV holds great promise in HNC. We should continually deepen cooperation and exchanges among healthcare professionals and AI researchers, thereby fostering the continuous development of CV in the treatment of HNC. With the continuous optimization of algorithms, the application of CV in HNC will become even more extensive.

荷鲁斯之眼：用计算机视觉增强头颈癌护理。

背景：尽管有广泛的研究，头颈癌（HNC）由于复杂的解剖结构、图像解释困难和其他障碍，在全球范围内面临着巨大的治疗挑战。人工智能（AI），特别是计算机视觉（CV）的最新进展，在改善HNC管理方面显示出了巨大的潜力，取得了显著进展。方法：通过大量的文献研究，进行叙述性的回顾，探讨CV在HNC中的应用，并通过比较探讨CV的优缺点。结果：总结了CV在HNC预防、诊断、治疗、预后预测等方面的应用及前沿进展，综合了CV的概念和工作流程，讨论了CV的优缺点。此外，我们弥合医疗专业人员和人工智能研究人员之间的差距，共同推动相关领域的发展。结论：CV在HNC中有很大的应用前景。我们应不断深化医护人员和人工智能研究人员之间的合作与交流，促进CV在HNC治疗中的持续发展。随着算法的不断优化，CV在HNC中的应用将更加广泛。

期刊介绍： Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
