Manual versus Automatic Classification of Laryngeal Lesions based on Vascular Patterns in CE+NBI Images

Longitudinal and perpendicular changes in the blood vessels of the vocal fold have been related to the advancement from benign to malignant laryngeal cancer stages. The combination of Contact Endoscopy (CE) and Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) provides intraoperative realtime visualization of vascular patt...
