Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In the functional assessment of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), the endoscopic Hill classification plays a pivotal role in classifying the morphology of the gastroesophageal flap valve (GEFV). This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence model for Hill classification to assist endoscopists in diagnosis, covering the entire process from model development, testing, interpretability analysis, to multi-terminal deployment.
