Research progress of functional magnetic resonance imaging and artificial intelligence in evaluating the staging of nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common malignant tumors of the head and neck, and accurate staging is helpful to guide the implementation of individualized treatment plan. At present, NPC staging mainly depends on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), while conventional MRI can only be staged according to the morphological changes of tumor, which is highly subjective. Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging, intravoxel incoherent motion imaging, diffusion kurtosis imaging and other MRI functional imaging technologies make the staging evaluation of NPC more objective through quantitative measurement, but at present, these technologies and their parameter values have not yet formed a unified standard for the staging evaluation of NPC. Artificial intelligence excavates more information from images and has a good application prospect in the future. We reviewed the value of these techniques in evaluating NPC staging in this paper, in order to provide a reliable basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment, and provide a reference direction for future research.
