Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The visual detection of early esophageal neoplasia (high-grade dysplasia and T1 cancer) in Barrett's esophagus (BE) with white-light and virtual chromoendoscopy still remains challenging. The aim of this study was to assess whether a convolutional neural artificial intelligence network can aid in the recognition of early esophageal neoplasia in BE.
