Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIM: We recently reported the role of artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) gastritis on the basis of endoscopic images. However, that study included only H. pylori-positive and -negative patients, excluding patients after H. pylori-eradication. In this study, we constructed a convolutional neural network (CNN) and evaluated its ability to ascertain all H. pylori infection statuses.
