In this article, we propose a parallel hierarchy convolutional neural network (PHCNN) combining a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network structure to quantitatively assess the grading of facial nerve ...

The facial nerve runs through the temporal bone, which is located at the sides and base of the skull. Any trauma that causes a fracture of this bone can cause facial paralysis.

Facial paralysis, as a common nerve system disease, seriously affects the patients' facial muscle function and appearance. Accurate facial paralysis grading is of great significance for the ...
