PURPOSE: A three-dimensional (3D) structure extraction technique viewed from a two-dimensional image is essential for the development of a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for colonoscopy. However, a straightforward application of existing depth...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex disease which leads to life-threatening complications and decreased quality of life. The dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) colitis model in mice is known for rapid screening of candidate compounds. Efficacy as...

Higher-resolution biopsy slice images reveal many details, which are widely used in medical practice. However, taking high-resolution slice images is more costly than taking low-resolution ones. In this paper, we propose a joint framework containing ...
Surgery is developing in the direction of minimal invasiveness, and robotic surgery is becoming increasingly adopted in colonic resection procedures. The ergonomic improvements of robot promote surgical performance, reduce workload for surgeons and b...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopic disease activity scoring in ulcerative colitis (UC) is useful in clinical practice but done infrequently. It is required in clinical trials, where it is expensive and slow because human central readers are needed. A ma...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: In accordance with guidelines, most patients with T1 colorectal cancers (CRC) undergo surgical resection with lymph node dissection, despite the low incidence (∼10%) of metastasis to lymph nodes. To reduce unnecessary surgical rese...
Quantitatively determining in vivo achievable drug concentrations in targeted organs of animal models and subsequent target engagement confirmation is a challenge to drug discovery and translation due to lack of bioassay technologies that can discrim...

Bowel sounds (BSs), typically generated by the intestinal peristalses, are a significant physiological indicator of the digestive system's health condition. In this study, a wearable BS monitoring system is presented for long-term BS monitoring. The ...
Limited biomarkers have been identified as prognostic predictors for stage III colon cancer. To combat this shortfall, we developed a computer-aided approach which combing convolutional neural network with machine classifier to predict the prognosis ...
