About this trial

Skull-base osteonecrosis (sbORN) is a severe long-term complication of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) post radiotherapy, which significantly diminish the quality of life, increase the risk of internal carotid artery rupture, and is frequently misdiagnosed as NPC recurrence. Novel diagnostic tools are therefore clinically significant. In this study, the investigators seek to ask if a deep-learning-based model shows a significantly higher sensitivity than radiologists. With a cross-sectional design, the investigators aim to recruit 312 participants in Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Guangzhou, China that meet the eligibility criteria.

Eligibility criteria

Complete remission six months post radical radiotherapy according to RECIST 1.1.

Disqualifiers

MRI artifacts or other factors that interfere radiological diagnosis and region of interest contouring.

Suspected lesion is not confined to nasopharynx and skull-base.
