Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Algorithm to Automatic Detection of Pituitary Microadenoma From MRI

Background: It is often difficult to diagnose pituitary microadenoma (PM) by MRI alone, due to its relatively small size, variable anatomical structure, complex clinical symptoms, and signs among individuals. We develop and validate a deep learning -based system to diagnose PM from MRI.Methods: A to...
