Project 4: Automatic segmentation of the pharyngeal airway space with convolutional neural network

The rationale behind this topic:

Pharyngeal airway space assessment has been an area of interest for clinicians allowing efficient diagnosis, treatment planning and follow-up of patients with dento-skeletal deformities and obstructive sleep apnea which might influence the dimensions of upper airway space. Recently, deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has gained much attention in the dentomaxillofacial field for segmenting and evaluating the airway space. This project aims to propose and investigate the performance of a deep learning-based 3D CNN model for PAS segmentation from CT/CBCT images.
