Abstract
Background: Schwann cell sheaths are the source of benign, slowly expanding tumours known as acoustic neuromas (AN). The diagnostic and treatment approaches for AN must be patient-centered, taking into account unique factors and preferences.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate how machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can revolutionise AN management and diagnostic procedures.
Methods: A thorough systematic review that included peer-reviewed material from public databases was carried out. Publications on AN, AI, and deep learning up until December 2023 were included in the review's purview.
Results: Based on our analysis, AI models for volume estimation, segmentation, tumour type differentiation, and separation from healthy tissues have been developed successfully. Developments in computational biology imply that AI can be used effectively in a variety of fields, including quality of life evaluations, monitoring, robotic-assisted surgery, feature extraction, radiomics, image analysis, clinical decision support systems, and treatment planning.
Conclusion: For better AN diagnosis and treatment, a variety of imaging modalities require the development of strong, flexible AI models that can handle heterogeneous imaging data. Subsequent investigations ought to concentrate on reproducing findings in order to standardise AI approaches, which could transform their use in medical environments.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
