Article Title: Computer-aided detection of colorectal polyps using a newly generated deep convolutional neural network: from development to first clinical experience
doi: 10.1097/MEG.0000000000002209
Figure Lengend Snippet: Development and diagnostic output of the system. (a) The deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) processes video data as a sequence of single video frames and generates predictions based on the visual evidence of a single video frame. The predictions from individual frames are then fused to provide a more stable detection. (b) Different examples of polyp detection with the DCNN during routine colonoscopy. The computer-aided detection (CAD) system generates the diagnostic output on a second screen on which polyps are highlighted by a bounding box. Note that the DCNN is able to detect multiple polyps in a single frame simultaneously (upper right picture).
Article Snippet: In the current study, we evaluated a novel deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for automated detection of colorectal polyps that has been developed by a manufacturer of the healthcare industry (Hoya Corporation, Pentax Medical Division, Digital Endoscopy, Friedberg, Germany) in close collaboration with clinical and scientific partners and assessed the performance of the DCNN ex vivo as well as in a first in-human pilot trial.
Techniques: Diagnostic Assay, Sequencing
