Artificial Intelligence in Rhinology.

ABSTRACT

Rhinology, allergy, and skull base surgery are fields primed for the integration and implementation of artificial intelligence (AI). The heterogeneity of the disease processes within these fields highlights the opportunity for AI to augment clinical care and promote personalized medicine. Numerous research studies have been published demonstrating the development and clinical potential of AI models within the field. Most describe in silico evaluation models without direct clinical implementation. The major themes of existing studies include diagnostic or clinical decisions support, clustering patients into specific phenotypes or endotypes, predicting post-treatment outcomes, and surgical planning.
