Deep learning approach of diffusion-weighted imaging as an outcome predictor in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients with radiotherapy-related curative treatment: a preliminary study.

• Deep learning models using intra-treatment diffusion-weighted imaging have prognostic value in patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers treated by curative radiotherapy. • The findings from these models may contribute to determining the therapeutic strategy at the early stage of the treatment.
