An Early Diagnosis of Oral Cancer based on Three-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Networks

Three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (3DCNNs), a rapidly evolving modality of deep learning, has gained popularity in many fields. For oral cancers, CT images are traditionally processed using two-dimensional input, without considering information between lesion slices. In this paper, we...
