Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Passable intestinal strictures are frequently detected on capsule endoscopy [CE]. Such strictures are a major component of inflammatory scores. Deep neural network technology for CE is emerging. However, the ability of deep neural networks to identify intestinal strictures on CE images of Crohn's disease [CD] patients has not yet been evaluated.
