Abstract

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Assessment and scoring of histological images in Ulcerative colitis (UC) is prone to inter- and intra-observer variability. This study aimed to investigate whether an artificial intelligence (AI) system developed using image processing and machine learning algorithms could measure histological disease activity based on the Nancy index.
