ABSTRACT

The article describes our experience in developing and training an artificial neural network based on artificial intelligence algorithms for recognizing the characteristic features of benign laryngeal tumors and variants of the norm of the larynx based on the analysis of laryngoscopy pictures obtained during the examination of patients. During the preparation of data for training the neural network, a dataset was collected, labeled and loaded, consisting of 1471 images of the larynx in digital formats (jpg, bmp). Next, the neural network was trained and tested in order to recognize images of the norm and neoplasms of the larynx. The developed and trained artificial neural network demonstrated an accuracy of 86% in recognizing of benign laryngeal tumors and variants of the norm of the larynx. The proposed technology can be further used in practical healthcare to control and improve the quality of diagnosis of laryngeal pathologies.
