OBJECTIVE: Assessment of the anatomical colorectal segment of polyps during colonoscopy is important for treatment and follow-up strategies, but is largely operator dependent. This feasibility study aimed to assess whether, using images of a magnetic...
BACKGROUND: Mucin depletion is one of the histological indicators of clinical relapse among patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). Mucin depletion is evaluated semiquantitatively by pathologists using histological images. Therefore, the interobserver...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Publicly available databases containing colonoscopic imaging data are valuable resources for artificial intelligence (AI) research. Currently, little is known regarding the available number and content of these databases. This re...
Tortuosity of the colon is an important parameter for predicting the course of colonoscopy. Computed tomography scans of the abdominal cavity were performed in 224 (94 female, 130 male) adult subjects. The number of acute (angle not exceeding 90°) be...
Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) family, which is mainly caused by inflammation of the tissue in the colon and rectum. The severity of this infection can radically affect the patient's overall well-being. Althou...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Endoscopy is increasingly performed for evaluating patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). However, its diagnostic accuracy is largely affected by the subjectivity of endoscopists' experience and scoring methods, and scoring of se...
BACKGROUND: Improved optical diagnostic technology is needed that can be used by also outside expert centers. Hence, we developed an artificial intelligence (AI) system that automatically and robustly predicts the pathological diagnosis based on the ...
