Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for superficial esophageal cancer is a multistep treatment involving several endoscopic processes. Although analyzing each phase separately is worthwhile, it is not realistic in practice owing to the need for considerable manpower. To solve this problem, we aimed to establish a state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI)-based system, specifically, an automated phase-recognition system that can automatically identify each endoscopic phase based on video images.
