Quantitative laryngoscopy with computer-aided diagnostic system for laryngeal lesions

Abstract Laryngoscopes are widely used in the clinical diagnosis of laryngeal lesions, but such diagnosis relies heavily on the physician's subjective experience. The purpose of this study was to develop a computer-aided diagnostic system for the detection of laryngeal lesions based on objectiv...
