Abstract

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an intractable disease that affects young adults. Histological findings are essential for its diagnosis; however, the number of diagnostic pathologists is limited. Herein, we used a no-code artificial intelligence (AI) platform "Teachable Machine" to train a model that could distinguish between histological images of UC, non-UC coloproctitis, adenocarcinoma, and control. A total of 5100 histological images for training and 900 histological images for testing were prepared by pathologists. Our model showed accuracies of 0.99, 1.00, 0.99, and 0.99, for UC, non-UC coloproctitis, adenocarcinoma, and control, respectively. This is the first report in which a no-code easy AI platform has been able to comprehensively recognize the distinctive histologic patterns of UC.
