Published: December 2024

This article discusses the role of deep learning (DL) in cancer imaging, focusing on its applications for automatic image segmentation. It highlights two studies that demonstrate how U-Net- and convolutional neural networks-based architectures have improved the speed and accuracy of body composition analysis in CT scans and rectal tumour segmentation in MRI images. While the results are promising, the article stresses the need for further research to address issues like image quality variability across different imaging systems.

Sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to its rapid progression and heterogeneous nature. This review explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform sepsis management, from early detection to personalized treatment and real-time monitoring. AI, particularly through machine learning (ML) techniques such as random forest models and deep learning algorithms, has shown promise in analyzing electronic health record (EHR) data to identify patterns that enable early sepsis detection.

Background: The conventional treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) is surgery; however, the efficacy of definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) remains controversial.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the ability of deep learning (DL) models to identify patients with LA-HNSCC who can achieve organ preservation through definitive CRT and provide individualized adjuvant treatment recommendations for patients who are better suited for surgery.

Methods: Five models were developed for treatment recommendations.
