Synopsis

Keywords: Cancer, Head & Neck/ENTParotid gland tumors (PGTs) are often asymptomatic and an incidental finding on MRI that can be overlooked. We constructed an accurate artificial intelligence (AI) tool trained on fat-suppressed T2-weighted MRI to automatically identify patients with PGTs with an accuracy of 94.3% (99/105), a sensitivity of 94.0% (47/50) and a specificity of 94.5% (52/55). For identified PGT patients, automatic segmentations of the tumor and gland were performed and achieved dices of 77.2% and 86.3%, respectively. The proposed AI tool may assist radiologists by acting as a second pair of eyes to ensure incidental PGTs on MRI are not missed.
