ABSTRACT
This article discusses the role of computer vision in otolaryngology, particularly through endoscopy and surgery. It covers recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in nonradiologic imaging within otolaryngology, noting the benefits and challenges, such as improving diagnostic accuracy and optimizing therapeutic outcomes, while also pointing out the necessity for enhanced data curation and standardized research methodologies to advance clinical applications. Technical aspects are also covered, providing a detailed view of the progression from manual feature extraction to more complex AI models, including convolutional neural networks and vision transformers and their potential application in clinical settings.
