Abstract

PURPOSE: Abnormal tissue detection is a prerequisite for medical image analysis and computer-aided diagnosis and treatment. The use of neural networks (CNN) to achieve accurate detection of intestinal polyps is beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer. Currently, image detection models using multi-scale feature processing perform well in polyp detection. However, these methods do not fully consider the misalignment of information in the process of feature scale change, resulting in the loss of fine-grained features, and eventually cause the missed and false detection of targets.
