Despite this, current techniques, which can be invasive and costly, struggle with achieving the necessary precision, highlighting a pressing need for more effective, non-invasive alternatives.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We developed ResoLSTM-Depth, a deep learning model to distinguish ESCC stages T1-T2 from T3-T4. It integrates ResNet-18 and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, leveraging their strengths in spatial and sequential data processing. This method uses arterial phase CT scans from ESCC patients. The dataset was meticulously segmented by an experienced radiologist for effective training and validation.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Upon performing five-fold cross-validation, the ResoLSTM-Depth model exhibited commendable performance with an accuracy of 0.857, an AUC of 0.901, a sensitivity of 0.884, and a specificity of 0.828. These results were superior to the ResNet-18 model alone, where the average accuracy is 0.824 and the AUC is 0.879.
